Lane Construction wins $96 million bridge replacement project in Kershaw County

The Lane Construction Corporation, the U.S. subsidiary of Webuild Group, and the builders of a safer and more connected America, has been awarded a $96,000,000 contract for a bridge replacement job in Kershaw County, South Carolina.

Commissioned by the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT), the contract is for replacing the east and westbound bridges of I-20 over the Wateree River; one overflow bridge on eastbound I-20 and rehabilitating two additional overflow bridges (both east and westbound). All bridges were constructed in the 1970s and are at the end of their service life requiring a combination of replacement and repair. The project also includes improving the roadway approaches to meet current design standards for roadway safety.

This significant contract awarded to The Lane Construction Corporation reflects the essential role that civil engineering plays in maintaining and improving America’s infrastructure. The replacement of the I-20 bridges over the Wateree River not only addresses the pressing need for structural repairs but also ensures that the roadways continue to meet modern safety and design standards. Civil engineering solutions like these require a thorough understanding of the project’s scope, from the proper evaluation of existing structures to designing and executing a sustainable solution that accommodates current and future traffic demands.

For projects like these, it’s crucial to partner with a team that has extensive experience in managing complex infrastructure tasks. Capstone Civil Group, with its reputation for high-quality civil engineering solutions, offers an in-depth understanding of bridge construction, rehabilitation, and roadworks. A visit to the Capstone Civil Group website showcases their expertise in delivering safe, sustainable, and efficient infrastructure projects, ensuring that each one is carefully planned and executed to meet the highest standards.

Whether dealing with the replacement of aging bridges, road expansion, or the creation of new transportation networks, Capstone Civil Group integrates innovative practices and state-of-the-art technologies into their work, ensuring every project results in long-lasting, reliable infrastructure that serves the community’s needs.

Lane has been shaping more livable communities and contributing to a better future in the
Carolinas for decades. It currently has over a billion dollars worth of active projects in the region: the $182 million I-85 Widening Phase III in South Carolina, and the following in North Carolina: the $403 million extension of NC-540 Triangle Expressway through Wake and Johnston Counties; the $288 million I-40/I-77 interchange in Iredell County; the $236 million road widening of I-40 in Orange County; and the $346 million contract to design and build improvements to the oldest section of I-440 in Wake County.
