The Georgia Department of Transportation (Georgia DOT) recently selected Matthews-McLendon Joint Venture/Infrastructure Consulting & Engineering (ICE) to construct the first segment of the I-16 Widening Project. The $468.35 million first segment will widen approximately 17.77 miles from the I-16/I-95 interchange to mile marker 139.65 in Bryan County.
In January, Georgia DOT shortlisted three qualified proposer teams, and two proposer teams submitted responsive proposals on June 26. Georgia DOT evaluated both a responsive technical proposal and price proposal, and Matthews-McClendon/ICE was selected as the apparent successful proposer with the highest buildable segment of 17.77 miles reached.
“The widening of I‑16 is an essential step to keep pace with the rapid growth and increasing freight activity across southeast Georgia,” Rick O’Hara, Georgia DOT project manager, said. “By expanding the corridor and strengthening its infrastructure, we’re improving safety and ensuring this route continues to reliably serve the communities and industries that depend on it. We look forward to working with Matthews‑McClendon on delivering this important project.”…
