The project consisted of the completion of final design plans and construction specifications for the widening of the Homestead Extension of the Florida’s Turnpike (HEFT) from south of SR 836 (Dolphin Expressway) to NW 106th Street to ten lanes including the incorporation of express lanes. Scoped project improvements included the design and inclusion of the ultimate HEFT/SR 836 interchange incorporating all movements to and from the two expressway facilities, including direct connections to the HEFT express lanes to and from the west, and incorporation of a new northbound entry ramp at NW 41st Street from NW 117th Avenue.
The project design scope incorporated signing and pavement marking related to the implementation of express lanes, drainage and stormwater management improvements, highway lighting, upgrading existing ITS infrastructure, and the replacement or addition of multiple toll facilities. WGI was responsible for roadway, drainage and signing and pavement marking design and plans production, structures design and plans production, tolling gantry design, environmental permitting, landscape architecture, utility coordination, subsurface utility exploration, and survey and mapping services.
