I-94 Michigan Project Awarded to CH2M HILL
DENVER, 20 July 2007 — CH2M HILL, a global full-service engineering, construction, and operations firm, announced that under a new contract from the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT), it will develop a detailed engineering report for the widening and reconstruction of nearly seven miles of I-94 near Detroit.
CH2M HILL's scope of services will include horizontal and vertical alignments, utility and drainage impact assessments, right-of-way requirements, context sensitive solutions, constructibility reviews, maintenance of traffic, retaining wall concepts, railroad coordination, design surveys, and structure studies.
The I-94 engineering report is the crucial next step in the development of detailed plans and in preparing this project for construction. The section of I-94 under study has the highest traffic volumes of any section of I-94 in Michigan and has an above-average crash rate. The project will address safety concerns, replace aging bridges, and provide better accommodations for pedestrians and bicyclists.
In addition, the improvements will preserve and enhance a vital part of Michigan's transportation infrastructure and will address current and future capacity, safety, and pavement and bridge needs along I-94. Traffic circulation will also be enhanced with the separation of local traffic from freeway traffic.
