Dallas Area Rapid Transit has awarded CH2M an engineering services contract for the rehabilitation of the Trinity Railway Express (TRE) bridge over Inwood Road.
CH2M’s responsibilities include presenting repair options for the bridge structure, preparing plans and specifications and developing cost estimates. The scope of work encompasses structural design, geotechnical services, field and design survey, drainage and services during construction.
A critical aspect of the project is maintaining access to Inwood Road, a primary gateway into the Southwestern Medical District. The rail bridge also represents a TRE commuter link between downtown Dallas and downtown Fort Worth, which must remain open for daily commuters traveling to and from the two major employment centers.
“Our extensive experience with commuter rail operations, bridge design, vehicular traffic maintenance, construction techniques and federal requirements will be invaluable to not only designing and constructing a successful project, but carefully maintaining operations while the bridge improvements are constructed,” Phil Yerby, CH2M’s Transportation Director for Texas, said.
