Business Wire
AECOM (NYSE: ACM), the world’s trusted infrastructure consulting
firm, announced today it has been selected as Lead Designer for the
landmark Brent Spence Bridge Corridor Project, led by the
Walsh-Kokosing joint venture. The project calls for renovation and
rehabilitation of the Brent Spence Bridge, which serves as a major
gateway for travelers along Interstates 71 and 75 between Ohio and
Kentucky, as well as construction of a new companion bridge to
reduce congestion. The project is expected to improve traffic flow
and safety, and maintain key regional and national transportation
corridors. The contract is partially supported through a historic
$1.6B federal investment from President Biden’s Infrastructure
Investment and Jobs Act.
“We are proud to play a vital role in building a
better-connected road network along one of the country’s busiest
routes for commerce and commuter travelers,” said Lara Poloni,
AECOM’s president. “We look forward to collaborating across our
enterprise to bring our technical expertise to bear on this
project, which will bring long-awaited safety improvements and
traffic relief to this community.”
As the Lead Designer, AECOM will provide comprehensive design
and engineering leadership to deliver critical upgrades that
address safety and traffic flow; increase capacity between the
states, improve the complex interchange geometry; and upgrade the
interstate multiple miles into Kentucky. AECOM will directly
perform design and provide project supervision services to lead a
team of subcontractors that includes Jacobs Solutions and other
engineering firms. As part of the services, AECOM will serve as
Engineer of Record for the new double-decked companion bridge over
the Ohio River and southward through Kentucky to facilitate this
connectivity. The contract also includes the rehabilitation of the
existing Brent Spence Bridge to its original design intent of three
lanes of travel in each direction with emergency shoulders on each
side.
“When completed, the Brent Spence Bridge Corridor, which was
originally intended to handle only half of its current volume, will
see drastically reduced traffic congestion while supporting access
and connectivity to communities on both sides of the interstate
highway,” said Mark Southwell, chief executive of AECOM’s global
transportation business. “Not only will this project improve a
critical link in this important corridor, but also support economic
growth through job creation, and fuel investment into local
businesses. Our diverse capabilities and design expertise make us
well positioned to deliver on one of the most transformative
infrastructure projects in the country.”
This project will be delivered using a delivery method known as
“progressive design-build.” Unlike construction projects that
typically use a lowest-bidder approach, the progressive
design-build contract is awarded based on qualifications, the best
overall approach and value. This allows a regionally strong team
consisting of many design and construction firms the opportunity to
collaborate with the bi-state management team and local
stakeholders and assess and mitigate risk early in the process.
