Skanksa in joint venture with Manafort Brothers, has secured a contract from the Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) for the replacement of an elevated section of Providence Viaduct Bridge on Interstate 95 (I-95).
The total contract is worth $212 m and Skanska’s portion of the contract is worth $106 m. The design and build project will be located in the downtown of Providence and is expected to optimise traffic by replacing the viaduct and associated ramp and overpass structures.
As part of the contract, Skanska will demolish and construct a new viaduct along with several other services including bridge preservation, roadway reconstruction, etc.
The overall project not only includes the replacement of the viaduct, but will also include the reconstruction of 11 bridges in total, many of which are critical in terms of safety.
