I-10 Emergency Bridge Repair

Pensacola, Fla.

Due to the wrath of Hurricane Ivan on September 16, 2004, nearly a quarter mile of the two-lane double span I-10 concrete bridge spanning Escambia Bay was torn apart. A joint venture quickly responded to the $33 million design-build reconstruction effort amid one of Florida's hardest hit areas.

I-26 Mars Hill

Madison County, N.C.

The Interstate 26 Mars Hill project was designated North Carolina's first interstate scenic byway. This 6-mile project involved extending I-26 through the Appalachian Mountains and performing 24 million cubic yards of excavation. At the time of its completion in April 2002, this 64-month project was the largest ever undertaken by the North Carolina Department of Transportation.

Boston, Mass.

Constructed by a Kiewit-led joint venture, this $100 million, 10-lane Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Bridge is the world's widest cable-stayed structure. The new bridge opened to traffic in March 2003 and is the highlight of Boston's multi-billion dollar “Big Dig” Central Artery/Tunnel project.

This $503 million design-build project was awarded to Foothill Transit Constructors, a joint venture between Kiewit and Parsons. The project includes final design and construction of 11.5-miles of double light rail main track, 14 new bridges, eight modifications to existing bridges, six stations, three center platforms, three side platforms and a maintenance and operations facility.

Netnak Bridge

Cross Lake, Man.

The $17 million Netnak Bridge project included the construction of a five-span, 262-metre-long by 11.2-metre-wide bridge over the Nelson River in northern Manitoba. Three river piers were also constructed in cofferdams up to 17-metres deep.

I-40/Coors Interchange

Albuquerque, N.M.

With Albuquerque's population growing, the I-40/Coors Interchange could no longer accommodate the daily traffic volume. The design-build project to rebuild the heavily traveled roadway included the interchange reconstruction, eight new bridges, pedestrian and bicycle paths, retaining walls, utility relocations, drainage improvements, signage and lighting.

I-5 and Highway 217 Reconstruction

Tigard, Ore.

Using an A+B contract, the Oregon Department of Transportation selected Kiewit to reconstruct the intersection of Interstate 5 and Highway 217. This $38 million project relieved traffic congestion as exiting northbound I-5 traffic attempted to merge with the heavily traveled Highway 217, which provided the only freeway access into western Portland. The reconstruction work involved merging northbound I-5 with westbound Highway 217 via a fly-over ramp.

Bay Bridge SAS E2-T1 Foundations

Oakland, Calif.

A Kiewit-led joint venture constructed the Bay Bridge SAS E2/T1 project. The scope of work involved building the foundation of the self-anchored-suspension 530-foot-tall tower, known as the T1 footing, and constructing the eastern-most support structure, or E2, for the Skyway Segment. The three-part E2 structure is 220 feet long by 80 feet wide and the footing structure is 85 feet long, 73 feet wide and 21 feet thick.
