Typical street-related infrastructure improvement projects

Due to the magnitude of construction projects, most transportation projects are performed for state and local public agencies. Reports and design are closely supervised and reviewed by responsible agencies; however, in most cases, the consultant is encouraged to provide innovative and cost-effective solutions to unusual problems.

Following is a list of projects of similar scope with which Hurst-Rosche has been involved including a brief description of each project. Client references for any particular project can be provided upon request.
