Granite's Intercounty Constructors Joint Venture Awarded ENR's Northeast Region Best Project of 2011
WATSONVILLE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Granite Construction Incorporated (NYSE:GVA) announced today that
Intercounty Constructors, a joint venture comprising Granite
Construction Company, Corman Construction, and G.A. & F.C. Wagman, was
recently selected by Engineering News Record (ENR) as the
Northeast Region Best Project of 2011 for their successful
completion of Maryland's Intercounty Connector Contract A (ICC-A)
Project.
The joint venture constructed the westernmost 7.2 miles of the ICC/MD
200, which opened on February 22, 2011. The ICC is Maryland's first
electronic toll road; it connects I-370 at Shady Grove and MD 97
(Georgia Avenue) in Rockville/Olney to I-95.
Project scope includes the construction of approximately 7 miles of
six-lane divided highway, the relocation of five local roadways, the
construction/reconstruction of three interchanges, seven dual bridges,
11 single bridges, four bridge widenings, and a 610-foot deck-over
structure. The work incorporated approximately 650,000 square yards of
paving and 2.4 million cubic yards of earthwork, plus drainage,
structures, maintenance and protection of traffic, signing, lighting,
signalization, striping, electronic toll collection, an intelligent
transportation system, fencing, barriers, guardrail, landscaping, and
utility relocations. The project demanded immense environmental
sensitivity and extensive community outreach.
ENR annually recognizes the nation's best construction projects
and companies. The Northeast Region is composed of 10 states, and ICC-A
was one of 98 entries.
The joint-venture team was honored at an awards ceremony in New York
City on November 8, 2011, and was featured in ENR's Northeast
Region magazine on November 7. This award qualifies ICC-A for ENR's
Best of the Best Projects 2011 on a national level, where winners will
be showcased in a special editorial feature in ENR and the
editorial staff will select one project as the Editors' Choice.
