CHALLENGE
The University of Louisville Belknap Engineering & Applied Sciences Park site had very limited and unsafe access for any mode of transportation—it required a new connector road.

SOLUTION
Pinnacle Design/Build’s experienced construction crews and management team worked with the developer to construct a 28 foot tall, 49,174 square foot MSE Panel Retaining Wall to support the development of the road structure. The bridge crossings were constructed over soft foundation soils, and the walls were allowed to settle before the final placement of a brick veneer. The Belknap Connector provided multimodal access to the property.

VALUE
The University of Louisville Belknap Engineering & Applied Sciences Park will be transformative for the university and a flagship location for innovation in Kentucky. The Belknap Connector was one of the first steps taken to make it happen.
