Cherry Hill Contract Value:
$25 million

Project Description:
This FDOT project improves and widens 4 miles of US 27 in central Florida. Since this stretch of US 27 is a heavily traveled business area, the project demands extensive maintenance of traffic, including the temporary signalization at 4 major intersections and 20 long term traffic detours. In order to improve the flow of traffic and simplify the work, Cherry Hill initiated a Value Engineering Change Proposal to improve temporary and permanent construction methods of approaches to the new Bridge over the CSX Railroad. Cherry Hill also worked with FDOT to re-work the existing base on 1-1/2 miles of existing thru-lanes to overcome constructability issues with existing vs. proposed superelevation rates.
