SR 39 ADA Curb Ramps & Sidewalks
INDOT Crawfordsville District
RQAW | DCCM was chosen to upgrade 32 curb ramps along SR 39 from Reagan Street to the north limit in the Town of Clayton. This project’s goal was to make all ramps ADA compliant; however, our team was able to utilize several innovative solutions throughout the design process. These solutions included inspecting existing ramps to determine if any grades and slopes were up to INDOT standards. Ramps that were found to be acceptable were maintained and any sites that were near satisfactory were retrofit with a detectable warning surface, rather than fully replaced. This process ultimately reduced the project cost by over 50%.
