Clemson University Newman Road Expansion

Ardurra delivered design and construction services for Newman Road's critical southern connector, transforming campus circulation by linking the two-lane north-south corridor to Perimeter Road, the main arterial serving Clemson University. The project established essential connectivity between the eastern campus area and the campus core while supporting future five-lane boulevard development.

Following an initial evaluation of alternatives for phased corridor development, Ardurra provided comprehensive design, permitting, bidding, and construction phase services for the southern connector, supporting full five-lane boulevard infrastructure. The fast-track schedule demanded completion before fall semester, requiring intensive coordination with university officials and consulting partners managing the Newman/Perimeter intersection improvements.
