Atkinson Awarded $66.7 Million Caltrans Project September 2010 FOOTHILL RANCH, Calif. - The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) awarded Atkinson Contractors, LP, the $66.7 million contract for the SR-22/I-405 West County Connector Project. The project will provide two miles of highway improvements through the southern California cities of Garden Grove, Westminster, and Seal Beach. The project will create a seamless transition between I-405's high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes and Route 22 and the I-605 freeway. Designed by Parsons and the Orange County Transportation Authority, the project will widen the outside lanes along I-405, which will allow for the construction of an additional HOV lane in both directions and provide direct access ramps to the adjoining freeways. Route 22 will also be widened. The scope of work also includes the construction of three new highway overcrossings, two of which replace existing structures that will be demolished prior to the new construction. Atkinson will self perform 21,000 linear feet of drainage work, 45,000 cubic yards of concrete paving, pour 22,000 cubic yards of bridge concrete, and excavate 183,000 cubic yards of roadway. Construction will begin in September. Completion is scheduled for February 2014. |
