The Linn Cove Viaduct, one of the most iconic structures of the Blue Ridge Parkway, is set to undergo its first major repaving and maintenance work in more than 30 years.
The Virginia Dept. of Transportation has awarded a $409.6-million contract for improvements to I-64 in Chesapeake to the Tarrytown, N.Y.-based joint
venture of Ganite Construction, Parsons and Corman Construction.
The Olympia Odos project—largest of the five concessionaires with an original contract of more than $2 billion, now restructured in a reduced scope to $1.4 billion—comes with its share of Olympic-sized challenges.
While Olympia Odos is the largest single concessionaire project of the five, Greece’s Gek Terna and Spain’s ACS and Ferrovial are the key players in two of the others—Nea Odos and Kentriki Odos, totalling over $2 billion.
ODOT’s largest project ever, and its first P3, are nearing completion as the state looks at a 35-year maintenance period for its P3 partner before the road is handed back.
