Location Centreville, Virginia
Description This interchange was a long time traffic hang up for many commuters in the region. Shirley was successful in an A + B bidding situation to the Virginia Department of Transportation and was actually the second bidder on cost but won the job on the schedule bid. The challenge included constructing a major bridge taking Route 29 over Route 28, relocating numerous utilities including gas, water, sanitary, electric, telephone and others, a massive excavation with significant amounts of rock, all while detouring the 75,000 plus vehicles per day through the interchange. The $21 million dollar project was completed 6 months ahead of schedule despite the numerous delays in unmarked utilities ( gas, power, telephone, and water) that were discovered in addition to the planned utilities during the course of the project. The project was phased with stages of detours to manage the traffic with minimal disruption and ultimately shifting to the completed roadways. Soundwalls to provide noise attenuation were constructed in several quadrants of the project to protect adjacent residential neighborhoods.
Value $21M
