Southbound Dunsmuir Grade | Excellence in Partnering Award - Silver (Greater than $50 Million)

“Through partnering, Caltrans and J.F. Shea Construction successfully reduced a three- season project to two seasons at a savings of more than $3 million.”

This project involved reconstructing 21 lane-miles of southbound I-5 located near Mount Shasta, in a mountainous area subject to heavy snowfall, heavy truck traffic, and steep road grades.With an arduous effort to work long hours, multiple shifts, and with several operations at once, the project team effectively completed half of the work in under six months, leaving the remaining 11.2 miles to be completed during the second season. Furthermore, the successful and well-renowned partnership between J.F. Shea, Caltrans, and CHP made it possible to keep the Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Facility open while avoiding significant project delays.
