Eurovia wins two contracts to develop major corridors in North Carolina (United States) 22 OCTOBER 2018 - 8:30 AM - NEW CONTRACTS - UNITED STATES OF AMERICA • 26 km of express lanes on the I-485 in Charlotte, North Carolina’s main city • 4 km of express lanes on the R-2247EB in Winston Salem, North Carolina • Total value: €415 million Eurovia, the VINCI subsidiary specialising in transport infrastructure and urban development, has won two design-build contracts to develop two major corridors in North Carolina. The two projects, which have a combined value of €415 million (US $480 million), are scheduled for delivery in 2022. In Charlotte, on the I-485, the work will consist in adding an express toll lane in each direction between the I-77 and I-74 (about 26 km) and an additional free HOV (high-occupancy vehicle) lane. These lanes will improve traffic conditions along a corridor used by 146, 000 vehicles a day. This project includes 765, 000 m3 of earthworks, the construction of 13 bridges and the laying of 700, 000 tonnes of asphalt. In Winston-Salem (in Forsyth County), the work will involve construction of an interchange over about 4 km on the northern ring-road, near Route 52, which will be widened to six lanes. The project will be optimised to take up less space and reduce the earthworks by more than 1 million m3. It includes 1.5 million m3 of earthworks, the construction of 13 bridges and the laying of 100, 000 tonnes of asphalt.
