Roadway Feasibility Study Completed By Digital Engineering

The City of Diamondhead received the final report from Digital Engineering for the Feasibility Study for Proposed Roadways.  This was funded by a GRPC grant for $75,000.  The city paid 20% of the project cost. 

The City of Diamondhead tasked Digital Engineering & Imaging, Inc. (DE) with performing a feasibility study for the preliminary planning of eight (8) proposed roadway projects. The purpose of the study is to provide the City with an evaluation on the constructability of each project and identify key considerations for further planning, design, and construction.

The study included an evaluation of the following items for each proposed project:

 Right‐of‐Way Requirements
 Traffic Considerations
 Pedestrian Facilities
 Utilities (Drainage, Water, Sewer, Electric)
 Environmental (Flood Zones, Wetlands, Soils)

The study included the development of the following for each proposed project:

 Proposed Roadway Layout
 Proposed Roadway Cross Section
 Opinion of Probable Costs

This report summarizes the findings of the feasibility study and has been compiled in such a manner that each project evaluation can be separated from the others and be utilized to apply for grants to fund the design and/or construction of the project.

This feasibility study includes the evaluation of the following projects:

Project 1 – Gex Drive/Noma Drive Connection
Project 2 – Noma Drive (Phase 1)
Project 3 – Noma Drive (Phase 2)
Project 4 – Commercial Connector Roads in Planned Development
Project 5 – Akoko Street Extension
Project 6 – Diamondhead Drive East
Project 7 – East‐West Collector
Project 8 – Multimodal Lane Additions
