Project Description:
When the main road became a safety hazard to the traveling public and pedestrians, including children from the local middle school, the Village of Onarga reached out to Piggush Engineering looking to solve the drainage issues that was worsening by the year. The ice on the roadway had become increasingly more frequent and dangerous due to the lack of positive drainage as well as a worsening pavement structure that expedited the deterioration of the road and compounded the safety hazard.
Piggush Engineering constructed roughly 1,650 linear feet of new roadway and improved drainage. The project scope was broad including new curb and gutter, new sidewalk with ADA ramps, crosswalks, storm sewer and drainage improvements, seeding, erosion control, blanketing, striping, signage and street repairs.
With a combination of grants written and administered by Piggush Engineering, along with MFT and village funds, the Village of Onarga was able to strategically fund their project which has ultimately given the young pedestrians a safe passage to their homes.
