Project Description:
In 2016, Allan Myers was issued a Notice to Proceed for the Central Avenue Streetscape and Harbor Point Connector Bridge Design-Build Project, aimed at furthering the development of Harbor Point. Myers was contracted to do the upgrades according to the plans provided by the Baltimore City Department of Transportation. A lack of clarity and strict restrictions from the Baltimore DOT led to a construction project that was over budget, disruptive to the community, and behind schedule. Our team, along with guidance from Allan Myers, developed an alternative design for the Central Avenue conduit system. Instead of upgrading the existing conduit, our team designed an adjacent system, running alongside the old one. This supplementary design focuses on increasing the conduits' long-term value by focusing on community well-being and supporting the future infrastructure demands of Baltimore.
