Kiewit Infrastructure West Co. has begun replacing the Virgin River Bridge No. 1 on Interstate 15 near the town of Littlefield in northwest Arizona. Kiewit is working as construction manager at risk for the $56-million Arizona Dept. of Transportation project.
“The contractor and its team will be replacing the bridge in its entirety and modifying the existing five-span structure to a three-span structure in the process, thus eliminating two columns and associated foundations in the river bottom,” says Brenden Foley, ADOT’s assistant district engineer of construction for the Northcentral District.
