SR 641 project in Terre Haute is a prime example of Beaty’s ability to manage large, multifaceted construction as it consisted of four bridges, two miles of interstate, two miles of highway, two miles of local service road, dewatering of a large 7-acre pond and relocation of approximately 9,500 LF of environmentally sensitive creek and tributaries over the course of three years. In addition to self-performing 49% of the project, Beaty managed thirty subcontractors and coordinated with twenty major suppliers.

Major quantity highlights:

• Relocation of 9,500 LF of creeks
• 200,000 tons of asphalt installed
• 10,000 CY of concrete poured
• 100,000 LF of storm, sewer and water main pipe installed
• 200,000 tons of aggregate installed
• Demolition of four bridges, four buildings and three sanitary sewer lift stations

Beaty Construction was the prime contractor on this $10 Million project which involved the replacement of the two interstate bridges that carry I-65 over Keystone Ave. on the south-side of Indianapolis. This project also included constructing MSE Walls, embankment and storm drainage work, and new concrete pavement.

The project had an accelerated schedule in order to complete all phases of construction in one season. Personnel worked a minimum of 6 – 10 Hour days per week to meet the schedule requirements and milestones.

I-65 goes directly through the heart of Indianapolis, and is a heavily traveled and congested section of interstate. The maintenance of traffic for the project during construction had to allow for traffic to still move freely and unimpeded while each bridge was being built. Crossovers were used to move traffic over to one side of the interstate in order to construct one half at a time. A movable “zipper” barrier wall was employed to separate and maintain traffic through the construction site in and out of the city during high peak travel times.

With only having 5 travel lanes available during construction, every day at ~5AM a crew would move the wall such that there were 3 lanes into the city for the morning rush hour, and would move the wall again at ~2 PM so that there were 3 lanes heading out of the city for the evening rush hour.

Major quantity highlights:

• 900 SY of moment slab
• 8,000 CY of common excavation
• 17,000 SY of pavement removal
• 19,000 SY of PCCP pavement

This project entailed building the last phase of the Lowes Way corridor in Hamilton Co. which created access from the City of Carmel to the commercial and retail developments to the north of the city along the east side of US31.

The construction of the bridge was unique in that there was only one point of access through the project to get to the work area. A creek that ran through the project cut off access to half of the bridge so we worked directly with IDEM, DNR, and USACE personnel to obtain permit modifications to gain access to the other side of the bridge.

The new Roundabout had to be completely constructed during a 45 Calendar Day closure which required an extensive amount of preplanning and careful execution to ensure all tasks were completed in a timely manner in order to complete on time.

Major Scopes of Work:

• New bridge structure
• New box culvert
• New roundabout
• 1,000 SY of moment slab
• 1,600 LF of architectural PF railing
• 4,000 LF of Curb and Curb and Gutter
