In Los Angeles, the California Department of Transportation awarded Flatiron a $109 million contract to construct approximately four miles of new high occupancy vehicle lanes along Interstate 5, including two new connector bridges from Route 170 to Interstate 5 north. The project began in July and will last approximately four years. Flatiron also secured three additional contracts in Southern California. The first requires the installation of new 42- and 36-inch waterline for the Mojave Water Agency in Apple Valley, Calif. The $7.8 million project began in July and will be completed in the summer 2011. In San Diego, Flatiron is executing a $24.3 million contract as a subcontractor to the joint venture of Turner, Flatiron and PCL Construction Services, Inc.
