    Description:
     
    This award winning project (Grand Honor Award - ACEC-NJ) consisted of the total reconfiguration and reconstruction of the Route 4 & 17 Interchange. The Route 4 & 17 Interchange, a main transportation connector carrying more than 220,000 vehicles on a daily basis, is among the most congested in the northeastern US.

    The major construction elements of this project consisted of: two (2) new third level direct flyover ramps; (325 - and 265 - meters - long); reconstruction of an existing loop ramp; widening and reconstruction of Route 4 & Route 17; extensive relocation of utilities; and, construction of an auxiliary interchange and a new service road.  In order to minimize disruption to the traveling public, area businesses, local residents and emergency services, this extremely complex project required special attention to scheduling, MPT and communication with all stakeholders. The construction schedule of this project from a three and a half year time frame to 13 month super-accelerated schedule provided for substantial incentives to the contractor and required an extremely experienced, knowledgeable and flexible inspection staff.
