N&W Project Award Winner – OHIOPYLE MULTIMODAL GATEWAY PROJECT – FAYETTE COUNTY, PA
N&W was part of the McCormick Taylor team for this project that won ASHE Southwest Penn, 2020 Project of the Year!! Congratulations to the Pittsburgh Office team and New Cumberland Survey and Site/Civil Group for your awesome work!
The project was a collaborative effort between the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (PA DCNR), who wanted to provide safety enhancements and improvements to the Route 381 (Main Street) corridor while minimizing conflict points between motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists, kayakers, and rafters. McCormick Taylor led a team of consultants, which included Navarro & Wright, in cooperation with PennDOT and PA DCNR to deliver this project from preliminary engineering to construction in one year. The Ohiopyle Multimodal Gateway Project, passes through both Ohiopyle Borough and Ohiopyle State Park.
Ohiopyle Borough is the heart of Ohiopyle State Park, which attracts around 1.5 million visitors annually for hiking, biking, and rafting adventures. Ohiopyle’s many river- and park-dependent businesses operate under a short on-season. Therefore, aggressive construction was completed primarily during the winter so the summer season was not disrupted.
N&W provided project management/administration, surveying services, preliminary geotechnical engineering report, preliminary right-of-way activities, and final right-of-way plan.
N&W also provided engineering services associated with the development of a new Changing House, parking area, pedestrian walkways and utilities services at the Ohiopyle State Park. In addition to the site design services, N&W provided technical information and applications for a temporary construction entrance Highway Occupancy Permit (PennDOT) and Erosion and Sedimentation Control (Fayette County Conservation District).
