The Harlem Valley Rail Trail Association has selected HVEA to design the Route 22 Crossing project. This project entails the design of approximately 1 mile of rail-trail and the design of a new pedestrian bridge to cross Route 22 and Roeliff Jansen Kill in Copake Falls, NY. HVEA is pleased to be a part of this exciting project and looks forward to working with the Harlem Valley Rail Trail Association to design this portion of trail to link this 46-mile shared-use path.

HVEA was awarded two separate bridge design projects in Dutchess County, NY. The Town of East Fishkill selected HVEA to provide bridge design services for the Replacement of the Carol Drive Bridge, a wood timber bridge which spans the Fishkill Creek and the Dutchess County DPW selected HVEA to provide design services to replace the Phillips Road Bridge, a jack arch bridge, located over Fishkill Creek. Services will include:  bridge replacement design, hydraulic analysis, scour protection, roadway design and construction support and inspection services.

HVEA was awarded the design for an .8 mile segment of an abandoned County owned Ulster & Delaware Railroad ROW into a rail trail/urban linear park in the City of Kingston. It will serve non-motorized transportation and recreational uses. Services include the design of a trail section, drainage, safety (signage/access/crossings), privacy and security, trailhead at the former railroad storage and maintenance yard, removal of existing tracks and ties and environmental considerations.

HVEA has completed renovations on our office in Beacon, NY. We have added an extra 1,700 square feet of office space, plus remodeled some of our existing space to accommodate our firm’s growth and to help attract and retain talent. HVEA is excited about the growth we are experiencing and looks forward to better serving our clients.
