Project Description: |
|
The Independence Parkway Construction South project is a continuation of the joint effort between the City of Frisco and Frisco ISD to provide thoroughfare access to the Sam Roach Middle School currently under construction and a future school site nearby. The project includes approximately 8,100 linear feet of 2-lane (ultimate 6-lane divided) roadway, storm sewer, and water design. The design of the storm sewer system includes over 7,100 linear feet of main trunk line ranging in size from 21” RCP to 2-8’x5’ RCB. Also included in the drainage design are three separate box culverts including a 4-10’x10’ MBC, a 3-8’x6’ MBC, and a 2-8’x8’ MBC. Additional storm sewer improvements called for a double 8’x5’ RCB sewer main to be constructed across FM 3537 requiring staged construction and detailed work zone traffic control of the highly traveled roadway. Water Line improvements were added to avoid future construction and connection issues with new paving and drainage structures. These water line improvements called for over 1,600 linear feet of 20” and 30” Ductile Iron Pipe. In addition 470 linear feet of 21” Sanitary Sewer pipe was installed. As an additional part of the project, intersection improvements along FM 3537 include widening to accommodate left turn lanes. The project required extensive interaction with other consulting firms and governmental entities as several infrastructure projects are being designed for the area. Legal descriptions, exhibits, and maps were also provided for right-of-way and easement acquisition. |
