25-mile interstate highway expansion with additional lanes and improved interchanges
The Interstate 25 Highway Expansion Project was a major infrastructure initiative to alleviate traffic congestion and improve transportation efficiency between Building City and North City. This comprehensive project involved expanding a 25-mile stretch of interstate highway from four to six lanes, reconstructing three major interchanges, and implementing intelligent transportation systems.
The existing four-lane highway was operating at 140% capacity during peak hours, leading to significant traffic congestion, increased travel times, and higher accident rates. The aging infrastructure required modernization to meet current safety standards and accommodate future growth projections.
KGM Construction implemented a phased construction approach that maintained traffic flow throughout the project. Our solution included:
in peak hour travel times
in accident rates
of schedule completion
for innovation in construction
Systematic approach to ensure quality and timely delivery
Comprehensive traffic analysis, environmental impact assessment, and detailed engineering design. Coordination with multiple stakeholders including local municipalities and utility companies.
Mass excavation, subgrade preparation, and precise grading to establish proper road alignment and drainage patterns. Installation of underground utilities and drainage systems.
Placement and compaction of aggregate base courses. Installation of reinforced concrete for bridge decks and retaining walls. Quality control testing of all materials.
Concrete paving operations, asphalt overlay, installation of guardrails, signage, and intelligent transportation systems. Final landscaping and site restoration.
Precision grading and excavation using GPS-guided equipment for accurate earthworks and reduced material waste.
Aerial mapping and progress monitoring using drone technology for efficient site management and documentation.
Computer-controlled paving equipment for consistent thickness and smoothness of concrete surfaces.
Building Information Modeling for clash detection, quantity takeoffs, and construction sequencing.
"KGM Construction delivered exceptional results on the I-25 expansion project. Their innovative approach to maintaining traffic flow while completing complex construction work was impressive. The project was completed ahead of schedule and under budget, with quality that exceeds our expectations."
