This Western Federal Lands Highway Division project replaced the existing Dickey Creek bridge with a wider and longer structure that now safely provides access for all vehicles, bicyclists, and pedestrians while reducing flood impacts and restoring natural river processes. Replacing the bridge also removed load restrictions, improved storm water drainage, provided better aquatic habitat and natural stream channel function, and improved water quality. The project was completed in November 2023.
proHNS’s Consultant Project Engineer (CPE) oversaw all aspects of construction to ensure the Contractor executed contractually required tasks professionally and in accordance with the plans and specifications. The CPE’s responsibilities include: notifying WFLHD’s Project Engineer of any significant schedule changes or deficiencies in work, and recommending corrective action to the Owner; reviewing Contractor submittals, substitution requests, and requests for information; maintaining detailed project documentation recording the Contactor’s daily activity, including labor and equipment usage, material placement locations, on-site testing, and potential problem areas; preparing deficiency notifications and rejected work memorandums; and conducting on-site meetings with the Contractor and project stakeholders to review project plans, specifications, and progress to ensure construction is completed satisfactorily.
