Roadways

Safe and efficient roadways are vital for the transportation of goods, services and people. Great roadways require careful planning and keen design to address the needs of all modes of transportation, including pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles.

Many of our projects are funded with federal and state highway funds, state-wide multimodal grant programs, transportation infrastructure grants and county and local funds. By aligning designs with strategic funding, we help you deliver local streets and high-speed expressway improvements, that are not only efficient but also adaptable to future transportation demands.

Project Highlights

Inman Square Intersection Safety Improvements

Cambridge, MA
As part of a multi-disciplinary team, the team led the transportation analysis and design for the intersection safety improvements project. The team developed solutions to address the size and complexity of the intersection, which was challenging for bicyclists and drivers, while pedestrians faced long delays waiting to safely cross.

North Tarrant Express I-35W (Segment 3C)

Fort Worth, TX
Bowman is part of a team providing design services and design management of the new I-30 Direct Connector, IH-820 DC at Mark IV Parkway and Segment 3C South Expressway. The scope includes roadway design, ITS and illumination, hydrologic/hydraulic analysis and traffic management and reconstruction of nine interchanges.

Reagan Memorial Tollway (I-88) East West Connector

DuPage County, IL
Bowman provided detailed full scope bridge design and construction administration for various reconstruction efforts throughout Illinois. The team worked in tandem with state and local officials to ensure the design and planning process meet all safety and construction standards.

Ferry Street Improvements

Easthampton, MA
A roadway and intersection improvements with a mini roundabout. Included pedestrian, bicycle, and parking improvements using a shared-use path, pedestrian crossings and new parking areas. The design improved the connection to the existing City Rail Trail. The drainage system was upgraded, lighting added, utilities were improved, and landscape and streetscape beautified the area.

Commonwealth Avenue Bridge Replacement

Boston, MA
Our professional engineers coordinated with the project team to design effective temporary traffic control plans that allowed the contractor to replace the bridge in the most cost and time-effective manner.

I-66 Outside the Beltway P3 Project

Fairfax & Prince William Counties, VA
The I-66 “Outside the Beltway” project is a public-private partnership transportation project that includes 22.5 miles of new tolled express lanes, new and improved bus service and transit routes, and new and expanded park and ride lots.

I-95 Emergency 3D Scanning

Florence, SC
Our team was retained by the South Carolina Department of Transportation, District 5 to perform emergency 3D laser scanning surveys on a ¾ mile segment of Interstate 95 running northerly from the I-95/I-20 Interchange.

Portsmouth Bypass

Portsmouth, OH
Bowman provided overall design, design management, roadway and drainage design, hydrologic and hydraulic calculations, traffic engineering/management, electrical design, ITS, tolling systems, right-of-way and ATCs through Tender Phase.

Central Tri-State Tollway Improvements

Chicago, IL
Bowman was responsible for Phase I and Phase II design for the Open Road Tolling Program, roadway widening, bridge widening, and toll and interchange ramp modifications on the I-294 tollway. Bowman worked closely with Illinois Tollway during Phase I and Phase II.
