Spadina Subway Extension
Toronto, Ont.
The Toronto-York Spadina Subway Extension Project (TYSSE) is the first Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) rapid transit line to cross the City of Toronto boundary into York Region.
Devil's Slide Tunnel
Pacifica, Calif.
Due to the long history of rockslides and land slippage, Kiewit constructed tunnels to bypass the Devil's Slide portion of Route 1 so motorists can avoid these major slide areas. Using the New Austrian Tunneling Method, which relies on inherent rock strength for support, crews constructed the tunnels through granitic, sandstone and shale formations. The tunnels are approximately 4,100 feet long, 30 feet wide, 22 feet high and 60 feet apart.
Whittier Access Tunnel
Whittier, Alaska
The $60 million Whittier Access Tunnel was Alaska's first design-build transportation project. The Design-Build Institute of America awarded the project its 2001 Design-Build Excellence award for the best civil project over $15 million.
Central Artery Tunnel Security
Boston, Mass.
The Central Artery/Tunnel has the capacity to carry 250,000 daily vehicles. To ensure the safety of motorists, crews installed a system-wide security system that includes perimeter video surveillance, an access control system, an instruction detection system, a security operator console, motion detection and telephone communication.
