In April 2004, JCG began work as general contractor on the Interstate 10/Picardy Avenue Interchange project, having been awarded the contract by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development.

Project Scope:

·    I-10 reconstruction, which provides an additional lane east- and westbound

·    Construction of new frontage roads on both sides of the interstate

·    Construction of new on/off ramps connecting I-10 to the frontage roads

·    Construction of two steel girder bridges that mirror the on/off ramps on either side of I-10 and two concrete girder bridges that enable travel between Bluebonnet and Siegen without use of the interstate

Structural and earthwork included:

·    84″-diameter drilled shaft foundations

·    230,000 SF of mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) wall

·    210,550 SY of concrete (interstate and other paving, bridge approach slabs, poured-in-place coping, cast-in-place revetment)

·    50,899 LF (square precast concrete piles and girders, reinforced pipe and box culverts, cast-in-place roadway barriers)

·    1,768 CY of class AA concrete for bridge construction

Project Value:  $46,300,000
