Market Experience
The Denver District specializes in construction projects as diverse as the geographical area it covers. Pursuing heavy civil and highway construction work, the district prides itself on delivering quality projects on-time or ahead of schedule.
I-25 T-REX Project – Denver, CO
The $1.28 billion T-REX Project is the largest transportation contract in Colorado history. Designed and built by a Kiewit-led joint venture, this landmark project includes improvements to 17 mi. of I-25 and I-225 and construction of 19 mi. of transit lines. Additional work involves reconstruction of interchanges and bridges, a new drainage system and improved pedestrian and bicycle access.
Beartooth Highway Emergency Repairs – Red Lodge, MT
Beartooth Highway serves as a vital link to the western route of Yellowstone Park. A rain-on-snow event in mid-March 2005 caused the road to be heavily damaged. Under a $15.2 million design-build contract, Kiewit Western Co. completed reconstruction of 12 mi. of the highway in just 16 weeks.
Northwest Parkway – Broomfield, CO
Considered one of the largest design-build highway projects in Colorado history, the $191 million Northwest Parkway Toll Road opened to traffic on November 24, 2003, five weeks ahead of schedule. The project encompasses more than 9 mi. of new roadway alignment, and includes 26 bridges and three toll plazas.
I-40/Coors Interchange – Albuquerque, NM
With Albuquerque's population growing, the original design of the I-40/Coors Interchange could no longer accommodate the daily traffic volume. Twin Mountain Construction II Company, a subsidiary of Kiewit Corporation, was awarded the design-build project to rebuild the heavily traveled roadway in New Mexico. In addition to the interchange reconstruction, the scope of work included eight new bridges, pedestrian and bicycle paths, retaining wall and noise structures, utility relocations, drainage improvements, signage and lighting.
