Design and construction engineering for the construction of a new entrance to the City of Muskegon is an excellent example of Moore & Bruggink's work. Shoreline Drive is 0.9 miles of divided, restricted access, urban roadway. The $7.5 million project included construction of a complicated new interchange where the new Shoreline Drive converged with BR-US31. The interchange work required complete reconstruction of 0.4 miles of the divided state trunkline complete with a grade-separated crossing and a curved, super-elevated bridge. The project also included extensive property acquisition, right-of-way mapping, building demolition, relocation of utilities, local street connections, and permanent road closures. The work was done under staged construction with significant maintaining traffic operations with median crossovers and two-way traffic. The scope of work also included a rail consolidation plan where many rail lines in a yarding area were removed and a single set of tracks was constructed. This included design and construction of one mile of new railroad with three turnouts and five rubberized road crossings with warning signals that were interconnected with traffic signals.
