MO 100 Shared Use Bridge & Sidewalk Project

The City of New Haven identified a critical need to improve pedestrian safety and connectivity across Highway 100, a high-traffic corridor dividing parts of the community. The lack of safe crossing infrastructure limited walkability and access between residential areas, schools and recreational amenities. Cochran assisted the City in pursuing federal funding through the Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) to construct a dedicated pedestrian crossing.

Design included a prefabricated bow truss pedestrian bridge spanning Highway 100, supported by a Class B concrete substructure with decorative colored form liner. To enhance safety and visibility, the bridge was equipped with pedestrian safety railings and low-voltage LED handrail lighting. The project also included 17,000 SF of concrete sidewalk, embankment in place, Class 1 excavation, earthwork, storm sewer improvements, concrete box culvert extension, curb and gutter, traffic control and site restoration. Cochran’s services included preparation of the TAP application, topographic survey, engineering design, bidding documents and construction inspection. Completed in 2020.
