This project began just after the start of the pandemic, which presented multiple obstacles to crew members. Despite the difficulties, WW Clyde maintained a safe work environment by social distancing and regularly cleaning equipment and work surfaces. WHAT MAKES THE PROJECT UNIQUE This was a two-year project to complete. WW Clyde had to plan ahead of time to complete work after a winter shut down. A huge effort was made to pave and have two lanes of traffic open in each direction by the end of the first year to allow the public to travel safely during the winter. It was a large effort, but it paid off by reducing the impact on the traveling public. Another challenge was the coordination of the work that involved so many different subcontractors and activities going on at the same time. Because of good planning, the project transitioned smoothly from one phase to the next. This project was a digital delivery project, meaning it was built using a CAD model and relied heavily on machine control equipment. WW Clyde was able to provide the knowledge, equipment, and experienced operators necessary to make this process work well. As digital delivery becomes the industry standard, it will help reduce project costs related to survey and design time. 24
