Fishbeck completed work on the City of Dexter’s Baker Road Roundabout in collaboration with the Washtenaw County Road Commission. Fishbeck provided onsite inspection, materials testing coordination, survey, and engineering services. The volume and speed of existing traffic presented challenges in this section of roadway, particularly concerns for the safety of students attending the nearby school. With the addition of this new roundabout, traffic speeds are more controlled and traffic flow is improved, making it easier for parents to pick up and drop off their children. Coordinating the relocation of all utilities within the footprint of the roadway, and completing the project before the start of the school year, created a tight timeline. The team is proud to say this project was completed to the Washtenaw County Road Commission’s and City of Dexter’s satisfaction on time and within budget.
