Description This project, completed in 1999, was Shirley Contracting Company's entrance into the Richmond Market. The $20 million dollar project included the widening of 4.4 miles of the existing parkway and the reconstruction of 10 bridges, 120,000 square feet of soundwall, 18,000 feet of storm pipe, 10,000 square feet of MSE retaining wall, with only 50,000 cubic yards of excavation. Chippenham Parkway, as it existed, was a wide grass median with ditch drainage which separated dual traffic lanes. The new construction added two traffic lanes to the inside, constructed a complete piped storm drainage system, concrete barrier median separation, and improved access and egress at the interchanges. Chosen by the Richmond District of the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) to be a "partnering project" due to the level of commitment of VDOT and the Chesterfield County community to fast track the project the goal was described as " to build a superior road in a timel manner with a minimum of inconvenience and cost to the public". Shirley finished the project ahead of schedule and on budget and won several awards associated with the construction of this project.
