Grant Road Improvements
TREKK (as Access Engineering) was the prime consultant responsible for the Grant Road widening and resurfacing project. TREKK managed and designed improvements to this well-known roadway, which provides access to the historic Grant’s Farm and the Ulysses S. Grant National Historic Site. Improvements included resurfacing, a lane addition, pavement analysis, lighting, attraction signing, safety improvements, hydraulics analysis, green infrastructure and beautification.
TREKK identified the funding sources, wrote grant applications, developed construction documents and performed construction management services for the project. TREKK managed communications between stakeholders, which was paramount to the success of this complex project. TREKK also completed a floodplain study to assure the project does not cause a rise in the base flood elevation as a portion of the project is located in the floodway.
Stakeholders included the Town of Grantwood Village, National Park Service, Trailnet, Anheuser-Busch InBev, St. Louis County, MoDOT, FHWA, MSD, USACE, MDNR, Ameren, AT&T and Spire. Construction management tasks were executed through the MoDOT LPA process and included bidding, concrete testing, asphalt testing, inspection, submittal reviews, daily diaries, payment requests, punch list inspections and project closeout.
