Roadway improvements included drainage, lighting, fiber-optic communications, traffic cameras, signage and aesthetic sound walls. The Lake Underhill bridge consisted of parallel structures 1,700 feet long with typical span lengths of 80 feet using AASHTO Type IV beams, the foundations are 30” pre-cast pre-stressed concrete piling with test piles up to 275 feet long and pile bents. The Gateway features consisted of pylons and cable stays between the two lake bridges.
