Granite said: “CM/GC procurement involves the contractor during the design and planning phases and offers a lower risk profile for both the contractor and the owner while increasing the overall value to project stakeholders.”
The work will involve the rehabilitation of the existing Liberty Bridge and a complete reconstruction and alignment of the Independence Bridge.
Granite said that the two bridges will remain in service through the project.
The design and pre-construction services on the project are already underway, and construction work is expected to be completed by the end of 2023.
