McNamara Drive Roundabout Design
To improve the traffic flow through Paradise, Newfoundland, a roundabout was planned for the intersection of Topsail Road and McNamara Drive. Harbourside Transportation Consultants provided the design of the new roundabout, which would also grant access to the new Intermediate School in Paradise. The work entailed upgrades to the intersection, the access road, and the services to the new school. The design and construction of the McNamara roundabout helped improve Paradise’ overall road networks and provides accessibility to the new Intermediate School.
Paradise Intermediate School Roundabout Design
Harbourside provided the detailed design of the new roundabout on McNamara Drive for the Paradise Intermediate School in Newfoundland. The work included upgrades to the intersection and the access road, and servicing to the new school in the form of water main installation, storm water collection and conveyance, and wastewater collection. Harbourside created the detailed design of single lane roundabout at the intersection of McNamara Drive and new access road, with the provision of expansion to a multi lane roundabout for the future.
Team Gushue Highway Interchange Study
Harbourside Transportation Consultants was retained by the Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Transportation and Works to complete a detailed traffic analysis on the Team Gushue Highway and the existing Pitts Memorial Drive and Robert E. Howlett Memorial Drive interchange. Work began with a review of past transportation planning documents, models, and traffic studies followed by stakeholder consultations to identify regional growth and development projections. The end goal was to develop alternatives for connecting these and ancillary roadways.
Cornwall Interchange Design
The Prince Edward Island Government requested funding from Ottawa to redirect the Trans-Canada Highway around the town of Cornwall, Prince Edward Island, in 2016. Harbourside Transportation Consultants provided consulting design services for the new Trans-Canada Highway bypass, including two roundabouts, connector roads, interchange ramps, and roadways approaching, and in between, the roundabouts. The development of the Cornwall interchange and roundabouts has allowed for heavier traffic to navigate the Cornwall area with ease.
Larry Uteck Interchange
The Nova Scotia Department of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal sought to improve the interchange at Larry Uteck Boulevard between Exits 2 and 3 in Bedford. Harbourside Engineering Consultants provided the structural bridge design services for this project. A preliminary design report detailing three fully developed structural options, complete with capital cost estimates and a final recommendation, was provided to NSTIR. The project began in 2008, and construction was completed in the summer of 2010.
