Market Experience
Kiewit is one of the largest transportation contractors in North America. We've constructed more lane-miles of interstate, highways and bridges than any other contractor. We've also built or upgraded rail lines and rail yards, urban mass transit systems, and airport runways, taxiways and associated facilities. Our capabilities are reinforced by the largest privately-owned fleet of construction equipment in North America, which allows us to rapidly mobilize the necessary resources for any size of project. Engineering News-Record consistently ranks us among the top transportation contractors in the United States.
Over the last 15 years, Kiewit has constructed more than 1,800 transportation projects totaling more than $23 billion in contract revenue. These projects were delivered using traditional bid-build, design-build and A+B (a combination of price and schedule) procurements.
Tacoma Narrows Bridge – Tacoma, WA
The $615 million Tacoma Narrows Bridge is the first long-span suspension bridge to be constructed in the United States since 1964. Completed in July 2007, the new 5,413-ft.-long bridge will include a high occupancy vehicle traffic lane, a separated bicycle/pedestrian walkway, an 8,000-sq.-ft. toll plaza building, and configurations for a future secondary roadway or transit deck.
San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge Skyway Segment – Oakland, CA
The single largest contract in Caltrans history, the “Skyway Segment” replaces over 1.2 mi. of the bridge's eastern span. Composed of precast sections, the new span will rest atop some of the longest and largest diameter bridge piles ever driven in the Bay Area. The work, performed by a Kiewit-led joint venture, is a key part of a major seismic retrofit program.
Sea-to-Sky Highway – Vancouver to Whistler, BC
This finance-design-build-operate project is one of the first public-private partnerships to reach financial close within the North American transportation market. Work involves upgrades to over 130 km. of the highway between Vancouver and Whistler, British Columbia, for safety and mobility improvements.
Benicia-Martinez Bridge – Benicia to Martinez, CA
When completed in the summer of 2007, the Benicia-Martinez Bridge will include a new five-lane, 8,790-ft.-long toll bridge between the City of Benicia in Solano County and the City of Martinez in Contra Costa County. The bridge consists of 130 piles, 1,700-ton footings, 17 piers, 11 pier tables and 335 cast-in-place segments.
