The Keeley team provided innovative solutions to construct the widening of Newstead Avenue between Clayton Avenue and Forest Park Parkway, turning it into a 5 lane road to accommodate the bustling traffic. In order to widen the road, the team had to remove and reconstruct the Metro Light Rail tracks. Other solutions included all new sidewalks, ADA ramps, all new traffic signalization, bioretention, new storm drainage system, asphalt paving, signage, and striping. Keeley Heavy Civil Infrastructure worked with Keeley Paving to complete the resurfacing and pavement scope of the project. This included traffic control plans divided into 16 different phases, sidewalk closure plans,traffic signalization switchover plans, and Metro Light Rail work plans. Keeley worked with several partners on this project but was able to self perform 85% of the project. Out of the 20,000 man hours performed on the project, the Keeley Heavy Civil Infrastructure team worked 17,000 of those hours
