I-275 Reconstruction in Canton

Value Engineering acted as the prime consultant for MDOT on the Design of Permanent Pavement Markings for I-275. This project focused on the final design for the reconstruction of I-275, encompassing main lanes, auxiliary lanes, shoulders, and interchange ramps at I-275/M-153 (Ford Road) and I-275/Ann Arbor Road interchanges.
The project involved developing permanent pavement marking plans, engineering cost estimates, and horizontal layouts integrated with other design disciplines. VE attended Milestone Review meetings to address feedback and incorporate project-specific MDOT Standard Plans into the designs.
