Site work and paving for a civil project in Wytheville, Virginia. Completed plans call for site work for a bridge / tunnel; for paving for a bridge / tunnel; water / sewer project; road / highway; and road / highway.

The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is seeking Statements of Qualifications for the I-81 CIP MM 72.0 NB to MM 73.4 NB Accel/Decel Lanes with Bridges design-build project from qualified and experienced respondents with design and construction experience of highway facilities. The project is located in Wythe County on I-81 at the junction of I-77, between I-81 NB mile markers 72.0 and 73.4. Proposed improvements include lengthening the acceleration lane at the merge area from the I-77 SB offramp to I-81 southbound and lengthening the deceleration lane from the I-81 northbound onramp to I-77 NB. Proposed improvements also include complete replacement of the existing bridges over Peppers Ferry Road and replacement of the I-81 northbound bridge over the I-77 NB trumpet ramp. Other roadway improvements include extending the I-77 Exit 41 SB acceleration lane to create an auxiliary lane that lengthens the merge area between the Exit 41SB entrance ramp and the off ramp to I-81 SB. Replacement of the I-81 southbound bridge over I-77 is not part of the project. The project does not increase the capacity of I-81 and will provide two lanes of travel in both I-81 directions. The work includes but not limited to: roadway and bridge design, survey, environmental, geotechnical, hydraulics and stormwater management, traffic control devices, transportation management plan, utility relocation, public involvement/relations and stakeholder coordination, quality assurance and quality control, construction engineering and inspection, and overall project management.
