BPA was responsible for the CEI services for
the
$37 million project which was completed
in 32 months. The project was completed
within the allowable contract time, which
was an accomplishment considering the impact
of 5 named hurricanes, material and labor
shortages.
The project included the complete
reconstruction of the interchange. The
mainline SR 826 bridge over NW 36th Street
was replaced with a single 175' structural
steel girder bridge. The profile on SR 826
was raised over 9' to accommodate the
greater beam depth and new clearance
criteria.
BPA’s role was a challenging one. The
project required 10 different construction
phases in order to reconstruct the
interchange and maintain 4 lanes of traffic
in each direction at all times. This busy
expressway is used by an estimated 210,000
motorist each day.
