Replacement of Retaining Walls along U.S. Rte. 44, Norfolk

Administered by DOT District 4 Construction

The purpose of the project is to stabilize the northern slope along Route 44 for the safety of the highway. The project is needed because the integrity of the existing rubble masonry walls has been compromised and are at risk of failure. The project involves the replacement of three dry rubble masonry retaining walls with two retaining walls. US Rte. 44 will also be reconstructed to provide 12-foot travel lanes, 5-foot shoulders and a 6-foot buffer between the shoulder and the walls. The project also includes a reconstructed drainage system to accommodate Center Cemetery sheet flow and proposed roadway improvements.
