Project Description:

This Design-Build project consisted of bridge widening and new construction on I-95 to replace and add a series of overpasses that carry traffic over Hendricks, Kings and Montana avenues. It is a 2.5 mile long project, included 15 travel lanes at its widest point with 15 ramps, comprising the reconstruction of I-95 through downtown Jacksonville, FL.  The improvements required construction of 14 new bridges and 3 bridge widenings.  These bridges include both pile and drilled shaft foundations, nine have Florida I Beams and three have Steel Girders utilized in the superstructure components with single spans reaching lengths up to 278’.  The project included converting a partial interchange into a full interchange to provide both north and southbound traffic movements between I-95 with Atlantic Blvd. and Philips Hwy.  The reconstruction was performed through six MOT phases, moving traffic during demolition of the old bridges/roadways and constructing the new ones, while maintaining the existing I-95 traffic flow.

The project received the 2019 Florida Transportation Builders Association (FTBA) Best in Construction Major Bridge and 2020 ACEC-FL/ FDOT Outstanding Project Award.
