I-595 FINAL DESIGN
Client: Florida department of transportation, District 4 | Location: Broward County
The corridor improvements consisted of a minimum of three general-use lanes in each direction for the mainline of I-595, the construction of three reversible lanes in the center of the corridor, and upgrades to SR-84, which parallels I-595 on the outside.
The design of the project included updating the stormwater master plan and complete drainage design for new exfiltration trenches, storm sewer design piping and collection inlets, cross drains, including several microtunneling pipes across the expressway lanes, and both wet and dry retention stormwater ponds. Fourteen microtunnels were needed due to the water table and the depth of drainage structures. The design also included several large gated control structures for the connections to the golf courses, large concrete box culverts, a major inverted siphon under the North New River Canal, and several open channels. R.J. Behar was also responsible for the drainage plans preparation for two roadway design sections, bridge deck hydraulics, signal timing, and lighting, as well as all coordination between six different design firms.
This project won several awards!
