For Missouri Highway Job, Designs Cross State Lines
Design innovation, regardless of Missouri state codes, is the key to a $535-million reconstruction of a 10.5-mile-long segment of Interstate 64 in St. Louis. It is the state's first design-build effort.
A joint venture named Gateway Constructors won the $400-million design-build contract Nov. 17, says Linda Wilson, a Missouri Dept. of Transportation spokesperson. Gateway is led by Watsonville, Calif.-based Granite Construction Co. Members include Fred Weber Inc., Creve Coeur, Mo.; Millstone-Bangert Inc., St. Charles, Mo.; San Francisco-based URS Corp.; and Parsons Transportation Group, Pasadena, Calif. The team edged out a consortium of Fluor Corp., Ames Construction Inc. and Jacobs Engineering Group Inc.
