Northwest Cultural Trail and 7th Street Streetscape

Northwest Cultural Trail and 7th Street Streetscape

Serving as the CM at Risk, Burkhardt Construction successfully completed the award-winning Northwest Cultural Trail and the 7th Street Streetscape project which involved undergrounding AT&T, Comcast, and FP&L along 7th Street from Division Avenue to Rosemary Avenue and along Sapodilla Avenue from 7th Street to 6th Street. The project also involved the installation of a new water main and drainage system along 7th Street and the installation of a new sewer main in the new Cultural Trail roadway that was constructed as part of the project. The pedestrian-oriented streetscape improvements included the installation of new streetlights, landscaping and irrigation, decorative site furnishings, paver sidewalks, and a custom paver symbol in the 7th Street and Henrietta Intersection. The improvements created a more walkable feel that puts more emphasis on pedestrians than vehicles. The project was the recipient of the 2021 American Society of Civil Engineers Florida Project of the Year award.
