Wright Brothers crews in Watauga County, NC continue to work daily to remove rock and stabilize mountainsides on the NC 105 Roadway Expansion/Bridge Construction project in Boone. Mountainous terrain, like that in Watauga County, sometimes presents unique challenges when building and expanding roadways. Controlled operations like the one on NC 105, complete with short roadblocks, ensure the safety of the traveling public. • #boone #rock #infrastructure #dailyconstruction #excavator #heavyequipment #construction #constructionequipment #heavycivil #earthmoving

Queen Creek is quickly turning into a pavement preservation thought leader in Arizona. Their infrastructure is relatively young, and they’ve continually invested in many types of pavement preservation treatments like crack seal, chip seal, slurry seal, and High Density Mineral Bond. The early investment in preservation has turned out to be a great decision. They’re able to extend the life of their roads for minimal cost compared to a worst-first approach. Their strategy has helped them cope with the massive population growth they have experienced over the last decade. The Town of Queen Creek is a great example of why a proactive preservation approach is a good investment of taxpayer dollars.

Happening now in Kings County, CA. A brand new bridge over Kings River replacing the existing bridge that was built a cool 82 years ago when Franklin Roosevelt was the President of USA and America was well into the Second World War. Tip of the hat to Caltrans and MCM Construction for building a safe passage for all of us for the next 100 years (2024-2124). #civilengineering #sierrageotech #geotechnicalengineering #mcmconstruction #materialstesting

Interstate 30 is a heavily trafficked corridor that connects Little Rock, Arkansas, to Dallas, Texas. In Southwest Arkansas near the city of Arkadelphia, two aging bridges on this thoroughfare provided passage over the De Roche Creek. In 2017, the time had come for the crossings to be replaced due to almost continual repairs being needed. The Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT) and Michael Baker International utilized an innovative Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC) method known as a lateral slide to replace the existing structures. This was notably the first time that a lateral slide had been used in Arkansas. Under this method, the new bridge superstructures were constructed next to the existing bridges on temporary falsework. Once complete, the existing bridges were demolished, and the new bridges were slid into place. The new bridges now accommodate three lanes of traffic in each direction, allowing more people and goods to pass over the creek and reducing delays, which can have economic benefits while also reducing emissions and travel times.
