| Aecom team to reconstruct I-95 Los Angeles-based engineering firm Aecom Technology Corp (NYSE: ACM) announced that a team composed of Aecom and Berger, Lehman Associates, P.C., has been designated for a contract from the Connecticut Department of Transportation (ConnDOT) to provide construction engineering and inspection services for the Interstate 95 (I-95) New Haven Harbor Crossing (NHHC) Corridor Improvement Program. The award - which is expected to be worth approximately US$60 million when signed - is part of the program's Contract E, which covers the reconstruction of the I-95/I-91/Route 34 Interchange. The interchange project has a total construction value of approximately US$600 million. Aecom's revenue on the project is expected to be approximately US$25 million. The project includes the reconfiguration of the interchange to eliminate the left lane exit and entrance ramps and provides for two-lane interstate-to-interstate connections. The reconstruction will provide three travel lanes on I-95 through the interchange, and includes 21 new or modified bridges, 21 retaining walls, new drainage systems, signing and lighting. Construction of the interchange is slated to begin during March 2011 and is scheduled for completion during November 2016. ConnDOT's I-95 NHHC Corridor Improvement Program is a multi-modal transportation-improvement program that features public transit enhancements and roadway improvements along 7.2 miles of I-95 between Exit 46 in New Haven and Exit 54 in Branford. It has a total construction value of approximately US$2 billion, making it the largest project of its kind ever undertaken by the state. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Construction News :: home page |
