The project involved relocation of approximately 1800 lineal feet of Jonestown Road (a collector road), disconnection from U.S. Route 22 (S.R. 0022) and reconnection at a new signalized intersection. Navarro & Wright coordinated traffic studies, geotechnical investigations and assisted with highway occupancy permit for utilities and signal permit. Navarro & Wright was fully responsible for the design of the internal roadway network for this 80-acre commercial /residential subdivision which included a traffic circle and over one mile of roads.
As part of the scope of work Navarro & Wright designed a sewage pumping station to serve a the 80-acre mixed-use subdivision, consisting of 12 commercial lots and 226 residential units. The pumping station was designed to meet ultimate build-out conditions with a capacity of 528 gallons per minute (gpm). The station design incorporated standby power capabilities, a telemetry system and a building to house equipment and controls. The pump station force main extended 1600 lineal feet and was bored under PA Route 22 (Allentown Boulevard).
Results: The local municipality was very pleased to abandon a dangerous intersection which had been the site of numerous accidents. Our client was able to undertake a mixed-use project with high traffic volumes by making the necessary roadway improvements.
