I-95 Northbound Rappahannock Project Team with DBIA-MAR Award of Merit, Infrastructure
(York, PA) Wagman Heavy Civil, Inc. accepted three awards at the 2025 Design-Build Institute of America Mid-Atlantic Region (DBIA-MAR) awards ceremony on Wednesday, November 19. The ceremony recognizes the best design-build projects in the region that demonstrate teamwork, effective schedule and cost performance, advanced and innovative project delivery, and design-build best practices.
The I-95 Northbound Rappahannock River Crossing project received a DBIA-MAR Award of Merit in the Infrastructure category, in addition to receiving the DBIA-MAR Best in Process Award. This was a Special Recognition category, which evaluated the design-build delivery process from development to procurement to execution, and how the approach influenced project results. The $116M design-build project for the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), relieved congestion and provided local traffic with an additional route on a highly traveled portion of I-95 over the Rappahannock River in Fredericksburg, VA. It included the design and construction of three new general-purpose lanes for I-95 north, a new bridge over the Rappahannock River and a bridge over US Route 17.
The Route 234 Brentsville Road Interchange project, located in Manassas, VA, also received a DBIA-MAR Award of Merit – Infrastructure. This $49M, funded by the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority, was Wagman’s first Public-Private Transportation Act (PPTA) project. It relieved congestion with a new, grade separated interchange that minimizes traffic signals and improves overall safety. It included the design and construction of two new bridges over Route 234, a shared-use path separating pedestrians from motorists, and a truss-style pedestrian bridge over Route 234.
Greg Andricos, President and COO of Wagman Heavy Civil states, “We are excited to celebrate these projects and share these wins with our project partners and innovative teams. Through collaboration, we safely delivered these projects ahead of schedule while improving safety and mobility.”
