ADA-Compliant Sidewalk Construction in Manhattan

The ADA Guidelines That We Follow

Our team has a proper knowledge of the rules and regulations set by the Department of Transportation for people with disabilities. When our team fixes or replaces a sidewalk, we make sure that it is accessible and useful for everyone.

• The Slope of ADA-Compliant Sidewalks: The slope of the path must be less than 5% so that people in wheelchairs can use it. We make sure the paths have a good slope.
• Curb Ramp of ADA-Sidewalks: An ADA-compliant sidewalk must have a curb ramp to make it easy for everyone to use. These sidewalk steps have a 1:12 slope, which makes them ADA-compliant.
• Width of ADA Sidewalks: The walkways we build are 32 inches wide and 24 inches long to meet ADA standards. It is 42 inches wide on paths that turn.
• Passing Space for ADA Sidewalks: As a general rule, ADA paths for people walking by must be 200 feet long and 5 feet wide. By making the area 60 by 60 inches, you can make it accessible for people who use wheelchairs.
• Slip-Resistant Sidewalks: To prevent people from slipping when using canes, crutches, or other walking aids, ADA walkways cannot be polished or made too smooth. Our use of non-slip materials ensures everyone's safety.
• The Texture of ADA Sidewalks: Concrete or asphalt surfaces must be used for ADA-compliant sidewalks. With this in mind, we never use gravel to fix or replace paths.
