Pulte Home Corporation has constructed 70 additional townhouses to complement the existing Bayview Estates property on West Main Road (Rte. 114), a highly traveled 4-lane roadway in Portsmouth, Rhode Island. Prior to the expansion, the development consisted of a 130-unit high-rise and garden style apartment complex with 48 townhouses. The design of Bayview Estates
and Overlook Point included the addition of approximately one mile of new roadway, including significant safety improvements to the existing internal road system and a Rhode Island DOT intersection.

The 26-acre site offers residents a panoramic view of Narragansett Bay.

Northeast Engineers & Consultants, Inc. (NE&C) conducted a study that included:

• All day counts and manual turning movement counts
• Accident analysis
• Review of sightlines at the existing driveway
• Analysis of the existing development trips and comparison to Institute of Transportation
• Engineers trip generation data
• Trip distribution patterns
• Capacity analysis
• Signal warrant analysis

In addition to performing a comprehensive traffic study for the development, NE&C provided a complete site/civil design plan, ISDS design, State and local permitting and infrastructure and utilities design. NE&C also undertook wind load analysis for the buildings, construction layout and inspections and materials testing during the construction phase of the project.
