$45 million Glenn-Parks Interchange Project (Anchorage, AK)
Innovation
- Managed design team and proposal
- Developed a design solution that protected environmentally sensitive areas, and sensitive salmon-spawning habitat critically important to the client, while also finding innovative ways to simplify construction. As a result, we safely accessed an off-site borrow pit, and completely avoided construction in the sensitive waters of Five Bridges by using innovative pre-cast girders, resulting in a new interchange that provides direct access to Palmer and Wasilla, AK, from Anchorage. This solution met the needs of our client while also conserving the local environment and being readily approved by all regulatory agencies.
