A joint venture of Lane Construction Corp. and Security Paving Co. has won a $672.9 million design-build contract to build the I-10 Corridor Contract 1 Express Lanes.
The Lane-Security Paving Joint Venture is comprised of the two contractors, while Michael Baker International is the lead designer.
“The I-10 Corridor is a critical link within the Inland Empire serving local, commuter, regional goods movement, and interstate travelers. To accommodate future growth, the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority I-10 project aims to reduce traffic congestion, increase throughput, enhance trip reliability, and provide long-term congestion management of the corridor in the Inland Empire. The Contract 1 portion of the project involves designing and constructing two express lanes in each direction of I-10 from the Los Angeles/San Bernardino County line to east of the I-10/I-15 interchange,” according to Lane Security Paving.
Under the contract, the joint venture will design and construct 11 miles of two express lanes in each direction of I-10 from the Los Angeles/San Bernardino County line to east of the I-10/I-15 interchange.
Construction is expected to begin by the end of 2018 and be completed in the first half of 2023.
