Oak Street Improvements

Rogers, AR

The Oak Street Improvements project created a critical east-west corridor in Rogers, improving traffic flow, reducing congestion, and supporting future growth for the community. The new corridor also created safer routes for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians.

The project included three-quarters of a mile of new two-lane roadway, a new bridge structure, stormwater improvements, waterline and sewer upgrades, and a 10-foot-wide shared-use bicycle trail. Crossland Heavy Contractors self-performed approximately 60% of the work, including storm drainage, waterline installation, sewer work, and limited earthwork, providing direct control over schedule and key project elements.

Construction took place in a constrained area with ongoing property acquisitions and an extended bridge timeline, requiring flexibility throughout the project. A standout element came when a roundabout was added through a change order. The team introduced a temporary two-lane asphalt roadway to maintain traffic flow, reduce lane closures, and avoid additional traffic control costs.

Safety also remained a major focus, especially near nearby school zones. The team worked closely with school administrators to create protected pedestrian routes, fencing, and traffic controls for students and families. Daily field oversight and proactive planning resulted in zero recordable incidents.

The project was completed five months ahead of the adjusted schedule and on budget, delivering a high-quality corridor that improves connectivity, pedestrian and bicycle safety, and long-term mobility for the Rogers community.
