James Parkway Extension Breaks Ground
Jobes Henderson project team members Jim Roberts, Curt Shonk and Scott Haines joined the Heath Newark Licking County Port Authority for the frigid ground breaking ceremony on the James Parkway Extension project on January 14, 2009. Despite the below freezing temperatures, Port Authority Board members and employees, Mayor Richard Waugh of Heath, and Layton Excavating were able to take the first shovels of dirt for the important roadway extension.

Jobes Henderson designed the project which includes bridge over Ramp Creek, site improvements and roadway design. This $2.9 million project extends James Parkway north from Kaiser Drive to Irving Wick Drive West improving safety and public access on the eastern side of the Base Campus while opening up another 70 acres of property on the campus for development.

This project was the third phase of the roadway extension and involved designing a new front entrance into existing Port Authority facilities. The design incorporates an urban look with an aesthetic bridge, curb and gutter, storm sewers and a pedestrian path. The roadway then transitions to an open ditch roadway more typical of the industrial park setting. We were able to improve the alignment and combine the goals and ideas of the Port Authority and The City of Heath and bring them together within the budget.

The site improvements made with this extension included a boulevard style entrance, rerouting truck traffic with a secondary access point and, improving the safety and pedestrian traffic with sidewalks, raised islands and green space. We also added motorcycle and bicycle parking similar to the existing parking area on the west side of the campus.

The Bridge over Ramp Creek will provide a bikeway /walkway over the top that will eventually connect to a future City of Heath Bikeway leading to the City Water Park. The bridge’s unique aesthetic characteristics will include color, stone and pebble finish on the concrete, special railings and lighting to create a unique entrance to the campus.
