Safety concerns generated the need for overall improvements to 2.30 miles of M-20 in Goodwell, Big Prairie and Mecosta Townships, Newaygo and Mecosta Counties in Michigan. Design modifications involved super elevation correction, horizontal radius re-alignment and vertical alignment adjustments. Project work included HMA crushing and shaping, approximately 1,900 feet of roadway reconstruction, HMA paving, guardrail salvaging, culvert replacement and miscellaneous items. Driesenga & Associates, Inc. team members provided full Michigan DOT design engineering services including plan preparation, guardrail design, detour and maintaining traffic plans, special provisions and opinion of probable cost complying with Michigan DOT specifications. Michigan DEQ wetland permits were obtained for re-establishment of the roadside ditch and multiple culvert extensions in the Michigan DOT Right of Way.
