Ferguson Township and Pine Hall Development Corporation, Centre County
This project involved a 3500’ roadway extension on new alignment between Blue Course Drive and Science Park Road in State College, and includes a 110’ Urban Compact Roundabout at the intersection with Pine Hall Road.
The roadway is a boulevard type urban collector designed to accommodate transit, motor vehicles, pedestrians, commercial, and retail vendors of the proposed Pine Hall Development through which the roadway traverses. On-street parking provides a traffic calming while a wide, a planted median improves aesthetics and provides pedestrian refuge.
The project also involved constructing approximately 625’ of Pine Hall Road from its existing limits south of Old Gatesburg Road, and the relocation of an existing intersection along Blue Course Drive.
We have worked with Keller Engineers for structural and civil engineering support on six projects over the past five years and have been very pleased with the results. Our projects tend to be complicated phased renovation/ addition projects calling for creativity in planning and construction. I have been particularity pleased with their responsiveness to issues that arise during construction which is of particular importance to us and our clients. Vern L.
