Powerline Trail Development

This project, titled ‘Powerline Trail Development,’ shall include, but is not limited to, the installation of a new multi-use trail within the Duke Energy easement located in Bloomington, IN. Work includes preparing the corridor, establishing the trail base, installing the trail surface, constructing drainage features, addressing grading and erosion control needs, restoring disturbed areas and coordinating with City staff and utility partners to ensure all construction activities adhere to local regulations and safety requirements.

The project includes the installation of a 12-foot-wide paved trail consistent with City trail standards and all Duke Energy right-of-way requirements. The contractor will also construct a formal trailhead at Rogers Street featuring an informational kiosk, benches, bike racks, and landscaping as well as an ADA-accessible pedestrian crossing on South Rogers Street with a raised crosswalk, curb ramp modifications, and pedestrian-activated warning devices. Additional work includes installing trail connections to the RCA Community Park and restoring any disturbed areas to preconstruction conditions.
