M-39 Reconstruction Project Overview 

Value Engineering, serving as a sub-consultant, will provide complex roadway design services for the M-39 freeway and associated ramps within Detroit and Dearborn, specifically from Cathedral St to Tireman Rd. M-39 (Southfield Freeway), originally constructed in the 1960s, spans through Detroit and Dearborn. This includes developing a comprehensive 3-D model for alignments, profiles, unique templates, and tie-ins at ramp terminal intersections, among other detailed design aspects.

This project entails a comprehensive 4R reconstruction of the M-39 freeway and all ramps within the specified limits, excluding the I-96 interchange. Key components of the project include:
  • Complete removal and replacement of mainline and ramp pavements.
  • Installation of single-face concrete median barriers.
  • Modification or replacement of service road screening walls.
  • Upgrading storm sewer systems with oversized dual trunk lines.
  • Analysis and upgrade of pump stations.
  • Replacement of raised outside shoulders with flush shoulders.
  • Installation of freeway lighting, signing, permanent pavement marking, landscaping, and other associated works.
  • Signal work at ramp terminal intersections is not within the scope.

SCOPE OF WORK:
As a sub-consultant under AECOM, VE's responsibilities include:
  • Detailed roadway design from Cathedral St to Tireman Rd.
  • Development of a 3-D model incorporating alignments, profiles, unique templates, and tie-ins.
  • Coordination with AECOM and other subconsultants for project deliverables.
  • Design and coordination of pedestrian traffic at Cathedral St.
  • Participation in the Value Engineering Study using Base Plan submittal.
DELIVERABLES:
  • Base Plan Submittal:
    • Project PDF sheets for alignment, removal, construction, and profiles.
    • Typical cross-section sheets.
    • 3-D model with alignments, side slopes, end conditions, and template drops.
  • Preliminary Plan Submittal and Final Plan Coordination (FPC) Submittals:
    • Updated 75% and 90% models with ramp terminal intersections.
    • Finalized typical cross-sections, pavement design, and superelevation transitions.
    • Updated sheets with existing utilities, drainage, and cross-section information.
    • Ramp gore detail sheets, guardrail details, intersection and ADA curb ramp details.
    • Miscellaneous details, special provisions, and standard plans summaries.
  • Final Plan Submittal:
    • Finalized 100% model with refined terminal intersections, side slopes, and grading.
    • Final supplemental documentation (quantity books, engineering calculations).
    • Annotation of Geometric Plot for VE Project Segment.
    • Plans and specifications for Over-The-Shoulder Reviews.​
