Multnomah County, Ore., selected Burnside Bridge Partners last month as the construction manager/general contractor for its $895-million Earthquake Ready Burnside Bridge project in Portland, Ore. The contractor is a joint venture of Stacy and Witbeck Inc. with Traylor Bros. Inc. and American Bridge Co.
The project is currently in the design phase led by prime consultant HDR. The project team is currently drilling for soil samples near the existing bridge to help inform the design, according to the county.
