Route 27 Bridge Street to Frederic Street-Resurfacing

New Jersey Department of Transportation

AEA provided engineering services for the resurfacing of Route 27 from Bridge Street to Frederic Street in Metuchen Borough and Edison Township from mile post 20.94 to 23.86. AEA prepared construction plans that included resurfacing and curb ramps designed to meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. Design work included upgraded traffic signals, bicycle signing and striping, highway lighting, and maintenance and protection of traffic (MPT). AEA performed site investigations, verified existing conditions, and identified conflicts. Coordination with utility companies was undertaken for resetting valve boxes and manholes. AEA met with local officials to discuss on-going developments that were changing existing conditions during design. Coordination was done for efficiency and to avoid rework by either the NJDOT or local municipality. AEA coordinated with NJDOT and Amtrak to address sidewalk work in Amtrak property. AEA developed final design documents including construction details, and supplemental specifications. Project bids were received on October 17, 2017 with the apparent low bid just below $3.3 million.
