Boland Drive Shared-use Path

The city of South Bend sought to create a connection between communities on the west side of the city with the popular downtown trail along the Saint Joseph River.

Boland Drive was historically dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists. The city turned to Burke to help with the construction and project management of a new trail that would increase the area’s safety and connectivity.

The project site proved challenging, winding along wetlands and an old known pauper cemetery. Through consistent progress meetings and the use of mobile workstations, the project team was able to construct a new trail without disturbing the surrounding environment.

Burke’s services included:

• Project management and construction observation services
• Construction in environmentally sensitive areas
• Streamlined process and cost minimizing through use of INDOT SiteManager and mobile workstations
