FM-2100 Grade Separation Project Crosby, Texas
Project Calls for Reconstruction of FM-2100 to 4 Lanes with a Continuous Left Turn Lane Curb & Gutter Facility With Storm Sewer.
Also includes a Railroad Grade Separation Structure Over the Union Pacific Railroad.
Project Let (was awarded) in July 2010
Project Limits are from Diamondhead Blvd to 0.14 Miles South of First Street
Project Duration is 455 Working Days
Working Day is Defined as 6 Days Per Week Regardless of Weather, Excluding National Holidays
This Equates to 18 Calendar Months of Construction Time
First Item of Work Involves Installation of 2 Runs of Box Culverts Under FM-2100
Project Includes 1 Milestone Milestone Applies to Construction of the NB & SB Portions of the Roadway (essentially, everything but the bridge structure)
Maximum Number of Days for Milestone is 50 Days At $12,000/per Day
Total Potential Milestone $600,000.00
Construction of Roadway Portion Will Be Completed in Several Phases
Total Closures of Side Streets Will Be Necessary to Construct Intersections Like Live Oak, Kernohan, Wahl, etc.
Total Closures are Preferred as it Allows Construction of an Intersection Much Faster Compared to Doing One Half at a Time
These Closures Will Require Detours Which Will Utilize the Local Back Streets
Construction of These Intersections Are Planned to be Completed in One Weekend Each, to Minimize Impact to Motoring Public
Last to Be Constructed is the Bridge Over the Railroad Tracks
