| Utah DOT selects Fluor-led team for expansion of I-15 Corridor Fluor Corp announced that the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) selected Provo River Constructors, a Fluor-led joint venture, as the team with the best fixed-price, best-design proposal for the expansion of the I-15 Corridor Reconstruction (CORE) project. The proposed scope of work is along a 23-mile stretch of the existing interstate in Utah County, one of the fastest growing counties in the U.S. I-15 is the major north-south commuter route between Salt Lake City and the Provo/Orem region. The design-build contract value is expected to be in the range of $1.1 billion. Fluor will book its 40 percent share of the project into backlog when the contract is signed and all material financing uncertainties have been resolved, which is expected to be no later than the first quarter of 2010. The I-15 CORE project will add 23 miles of two additional lanes on both southbound and northbound routes from American Fork to Provo and extend the existing express lane from Orem to Provo. Additionally, aging bridges (built in the 1960s) and outdated and congested interchanges will be redesigned, modified and/or replaced to facilitate increased mobility and safety. write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Construction News :: home page |
