Webber<\/a>, a subsidiary of Ferrovial, started working on the first phase of the project in August 2017 after almost 20 years of planning and an anticipated 5 years of construction and a total budget of $370 million.<\/p>\n

The 3.8-mile first phase of the project had a budget of $192 million and with 19 bridges to build and 43 months to finish<\/strong>, Webber and more than 40 of their subcontractors needed to send 200 workers to site, with teams working 24 hours a day, six days a week, even with some occasional Sunday work sessions to carry out the construction. The achievements in safety with zero safety incidents <\/strong>have been another great achievement\u2014thus calling for a celebratory barbeque as seen in the photographs.<\/p>\n

The construction also included 1,500 drill shafts, more than 40 retaining walls, totaling almost half a million square feet, over a million cubic yards of embankment, 540,000 square feet of concrete slabs for bridges, half a million cubic yards of rock excavation for new roads, 12-inch concrete pavement on expressway lanes, totaling 270,000 square yards, and 150,000 tons of asphalt on frontage roads.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n
