Roadway Reconstruction

AEI has provided transportation engineering services on numerous roadway reconstruction projects, including some of the largest most complex projects in the state of Michigan. We played a major role on each project by providing plans for staging construction and maintaining traffic. This often required designing a significant amount of temporary pavement and temporary drainage for maintaining traffic during construction. Our work has also included preparation of transportation management plans and final pavement marking plans.
