Streets & Roads
Adjacent to Pewaukee Lake, the Oak Street and Peninsula Road area had a combination of poor water quality, poor soils, and a long, densely-populated road that needed to be reconstructed. With narrow right-of-ways, this made the installation of utilities and road reconstruction a significant challenge. The soft underlying soils required full-width excavation of the roads and presented a potential restriction on emergency services during construction.
The South Lake Shore Drive Reconstruction project resulted from the 7-Year Capital Improvement Plan that RM drafted for the Village in 2018. S Lake Shore Drive was in poor overall condition, had limited pedestrian and bicycle access, and was plagued by many water main breaks.
Glendale Drive in the City of New Berlin was a rural cross section street with insufficient drainage that often flooded in a five to ten year storm. The design solution included upgrading the road from a rural to urban section, but also handling a large amount of storm water flow that entered the project site from three distinct points.
The Village of Dousman desired to update the area along Main Street to revitalize the downtown and positively influence the business climate. The aging and failing pavement and underground infrastructure pushed the Village into moving forward with this project.
Ruekert & Mielke, Inc. (R/M) supervised the reconstruction of portions of South Street, Third Street and South Main Street in the City of Oconomowoc. The project involved rehabilitation of the sanitary sewers and water mains, as well as a complete reconstruction of the urban crosssection streets, including storm sewer, curb and gutter, decorative street lighting, and brick paved terraces and cross walks.
