PROJECT CATEGORY:
Roadbuilding & Paving
With the objective of easing congestion on the Bedford Highway, as well as gaining accessibility for suburban growth, the Larry Uteck Interchange is a “critical piece of infrastructure” for the Halifax Regional Municipality. In addition to blasting and clearing, the Dexter team redesigned the four-lane highway, constructed two roundabouts (the first Series 100 with roundabout ramps), and completed a four-lane overpass complete with signing, lighting and painting. Our team also installed new water and sewer lines to service new housing development. In total, the project involved significant quantities:
- 390,000m3 borrow
- 155,000m3 excavation
- 143,000 tonnes gravel
- 27,000 tonnes asphalt
- 3010m curb
- 1600m3 concrete
- 137,000 kg galvanized rebar
The Interchange, which connects Larry Uteck Boulevard with Bicentennial Highway 102, was successfully completed in fall 2010.
