Overview:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

To allow for the future connectivity of Mahaffie Street to allow greater access to the Garmin Headquarters in Olathe, the existing I-35 Bridge over the BNSF Railroad needed to be lengthened.\u00a0 <\/span>In order to lengthen the bridge, the original design called for full removal of the existing North bridge abutment, excavating the embankment below and constructing a new pier with expansion joint, and abutment.\u00a0 <\/span>Based on previous project experience, Pyramid presented a concept to utilize the existing piling in the North abutment to support the new pier cap and expansion joint while constructing a retaining wall to hold back the existing embankment.\u00a0 <\/span>KDOT accepted this concept and in turn, turned a Design-Bid-Build project into a Design-Build project.\u00a0 <\/span>This concept created a no cost change to KDOT and completed the project six-months ahead of schedule.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
