The Southern Gateway - California

With around 218,000 vehicles using the road per day, the project aims to decrease congestion, enhance travelling safety, support traffic operations, address roadway deficiencies and increase connectivity. As an equity member of the Pegasus Link Constructors (PLC) joint venture with Fluor Corporation, we are responsible for the design and construction of the project that increases the capacity of 11 miles of roadway to meet the needs of road users and enhance road safety through rebuilding and smoothing out existing sharp curves and adding shoulders. To complete the various works taking place, the project requires extensive earthwork, drainage, retaining wall construction and bridge and pavement improvements. To widen the road, the team are expanding the I-35E from four to five general-purpose lanes in each direction while adding two reversible, non-tolled express lanes in the centre of the corridor. The express lanes will be useful for additional lanes in and out of the downtown area during peak travel times, which occur during morning and evening rush hour.
