Troy West Main Street
Troy, Ohio
Scope of Work:
The Troy West Mains Street project in Troy, OH, undertaken by Double Jay Construction, began in July of 2022. This project was slated to take approximately 15 months to complete and cover West Main Street from Ridge Avenue to the town Square. The scope of work included:
- Water main and sanitary sewer improvements
- Electrical and internet improvements via underground placement
- New sidewalks with curb strips added for safety.
- New driveway approaches and ADA sidewalk approaches
- Island added and new traffic patterns near hospital for safety and efficiency
- Upgrading lighting systems for improved safety and ambiance.
- Aesthetic concrete finishing surrounding the Courthouse and surrounding sidewalks
- Paving and street finish work to complete the final streetscape project
Challenges to Overcome:
During the Troy West Main Street Project project, we faced several challenges that required innovative solutions and meticulous planning:
- Traffic pattern changes, road closures and detours
- Block being completely closed due to the historical building being deemed unsafe
- Business owners being frustrated due to difficulty entering their establishments
- Unexpected underground findings
How We Overcame the Challenges:
Double Jay Construction along with the City of Troy employed several strategies to overcome these challenges:
- Announcing new traffic patterns and road closures with adequate notice and ensuring proper signage to provide alternate routes
- Avoided block that was “closed” for the time it was closed. Returned to work once the block was reopened and worked with the City of Troy to complete remaining work.
- Maintained open communication with the community and business owners, providing access to entrances to all businesses
- Worked through underground findings as needed. Some of great historical reference and contacted community members of interest.
The successful completion of the City Hall project stands as a testament to our dedication to excellence, innovative problem-solving, and strong partnerships with skilled contractors. This project not only enhanced the recreational facilities but also ensured the park remains a beloved community asset for years to come.
