20. I-95 @ SR 80 (Southern Blvd) Major Interchange
Widen SR 80 bridges over I-95
Original design - steel girders
21. Contractor submitted VECP to change steel girders to concrete (AASHTO Type V).
Minor changes to Pier Caps to accommodate change.
Savings - $500,000 I-95 @ SR 80 (Southern Blvd)
22. Original traffic control plan include 3 diversions on I-95 that would result in 10 traffic switches
Contractor submitted VECP proposing to eliminate 2 diversions.
Totally close I-95 from 10:30 PM TO 5:00 AM.
I-95 @ SR 80 (Southern Blvd)
23. Channel I-95 traffic to Southern blvd off ramp & back on I-95 using adjacent on-ramp.
Eliminate crossovers & multiple traffic switches
Savings - $1.8 million I-95 @ SR 80 (Southern Blvd)
24. SR 60A (Van Fleet Dr) Original design - 2 bridges with a center island.
One bridge crossed CSX & Abandoned rail spur
One bridge crossed Polk Street
Center Island divided community
25. SR 60A (Van Fleet Dr) VECP proposed single bridge over Polk Street & CSX.
Eliminate center island re-connect community.
