Project Overview
BKBM provided civil engineering services for the redesign of the Stageline Road intersection at the entry to the expanded Health Partners Clinic and Hospital in Hudson, WI. The project aimed to improve access, optimize traffic flow, and increase safety for patients, staff, and visitors.
Project Highlights
- Intersection Evaluation and Options Analysis:
- Conducted comprehensive evaluation of intersection improvement options, considering a signalized intersection, multiple turn-lane design, and a modern roundabout.
- Collaborated closely with the City Engineer to assess traffic patterns, safety, and site constraints to select the optimal solution.
- Roundabout Design for Optimal Performance:
- Final design featured a roundabout at the intersection of Stageline Road and the new site entry, employing Wisconsin DOT guidelines for modern roundabout design and safety.
- Addressed unique challenges, including a skewed road layout and limited right-of-way, to develop a solution that improves safety and maintains smooth traffic flow for all users.
Engineering Solutions
BKBM’s civil engineering approach involved thorough site investigation, option comparison, and active coordination with municipal stakeholders. The team provided value-driven design that balanced regulatory standards with project-specific geometric, right-of-way, and operational needs.
Results & Impact
The Stageline Road Improvements create a safer, more efficient entrance to the Hudson Hospital and Clinic campus. BKBM’s engineering solutions modernized circulation, reduced congestion, and enhanced overall access—benefiting healthcare providers, patients, and the surrounding community.
