(York, PA) Wagman Heavy Civil, Inc. announces they have been awarded the contract for the I-95/ State Route 896 Interchange project, located in New Castle County, DE.
The estimated $224M project is designed to improve safety and reduce congestion on the heavily traveled I-95 and Delaware State Route 896, which is the main exit for the University of Delaware. The project was bid as an A+B, which is a procurement method that determines best value by evaluating both the construction cost (A = $224M) plus total proposed duration (B = $60M). The design features the addition of six new structures, 10 MSE retaining walls, as
well as a shared use path for pedestrians and bicyclists, roadway widening for ramps, and the creation of new through lanes.
“We have been tracking this critical project for over two years and are excited to begin construction,” states Greg Andricos, President and COO of Wagman Heavy Civil. “We look forward to working with the DelDOT, Century Engineering, and all of our project partners to make this vision come to life.”
Wagman has been making infrastructure improvements along the highly traveled I-95 corridor on the east coast for the last several years. Past and current projects have included: VDOT’s I-95 over the Meherrin and Rappahannock Rivers, MD SHA’s I-95/I-495 Woodrow Wilson Bridge Approaches and I-95/I-695 Repair of Ten Bridges; MDTA’s I-95 Deck Rehabilitation of 28 bridges in Baltimore and their Express Toll Lanes program including the I-95/I-695 and
MD 152 Interchange Reconstruction projects.
Additionally, the Claymont Regional Transportation Center Design-Build project, which Wagman began construction on in the summer of 2019, is located approximately 20 minutes northeast of this interchange.
Construction is expected to begin this May. For more information on the project, please visit DelDOT’s website.
