We are happy to announce that Lochmueller won the Merit Award for the Michigan Street Conversion project in the 2021 ACEC Engineering Excellence Awards competition!
The Michigan Street Conversion opened the street to two-way traffic through IUPUI’s campus in downtown Indianapolis. Indianapolis DPW selected Lochmueller Group to provide construction engineering for a multi-faceted redesign that improved traffic flow and transformed access for pedestrians and cyclists in the area. The changes included converting the street from one-way to two-way traffic, widening the roadway, and adding 9-foot off-street bike lanes, sidewalks, a bus lane, bus stops, and crosswalks all along the corridor from Indiana Avenue to the White River Bridge.
The new Michigan Street creates a sense of place with raised grassy medians and a wide multi-use path. This project demonstrates how well-designed and thoughtfully implemented corridors contribute to the Indianapolis experience.
