The Golden Gate Bridge, the Tower Bridge and the Brooklyn Bridge are three of the world’s most famous bridges. Far fewer people are familiar with the new Polychrome Pass Bridge, yet it’s a grand, impressive structure. In summer 2026, Granite Construction achieved substantial completion of a project on the Polychrome Pass Bridge that will allow visitors to continue enjoying the entire length of Alaska’s Denali National Park and Wildlife Preserve. Growing Problem, Significant Solution The project genesis was the Pretty Rocks landslide. According to the National Park Service, “Pretty Rocks landslide has been active since at least the 1960s, and probably since well before the Denali Park Road was built … in 1930.” The landslide, around mile 45.4 of Denali National Park Road, affects road access to the western portion of the park. The long-occurring landslides were a minor issue for years, as they were only moving inches per year. The National Park Service said, “The landslide only caused small cracks in the road surface and required moderate maintenance every 2–3 years.” see DENALI page 42

Phase 1 Complete for Mobridge Slide Repairs On U.S. 191

The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT), in partnership with M.A. DeAtley Construction Inc., announced on Nov. 2, 2026, that it finished Phase 1 construction of the U.S. 191 – Mobridge Slide Repairs project. The purpose of this project is to reconstruct and stabilize areas impacted by three landslides along U.S. 191 near the James Kipp Recreation Area and the Fred Robinson Bridge over the Missouri River. The project includes three sites and is being completed in two phases. Phase 1 construction focused on the largest landslide area between mile markers 84 and 85. This slide had been an issue since the late 1950s but had worsened over the last decade. Over the past several weeks, crews applied temporary paving and upgraded safety features along the roadway, including installing new guardrails and updating signage. Crews also reconstructed embankments to mitigate landslide movements, improved drainage along the roadway, and improved grading of the roadway. Phase 2 construction is anticipated to begin in 2028, pending completion of design and availability of funding. This phase will involve work at all three landslide locations within the project area. 

New ROMCO Facility Reduces Contractor Travel Time ROMCO from page 8

For contractors working south of Houston, the new branch offers a closer alternative to ROMCO’s North Houston facility. Hamilton said customers previously traveling across the city for parts, equipment or service could save as much as an hour by visiting the South Houston location. Beyond its service and parts operations, the branch’s demonstration area allows customers to get behind the controls of compact excavators and wheel loaders, providing an opportunity to become familiar with machine features before making a purchase. Staffing plans for the location include five sales representatives, service technicians, a service manager, two parts employees and additional branch support personnel. ROMCO celebrated the opening with a ribboncutting ceremony, welcoming attendees to the new facility. Guests enjoyed Killen’s Barbecue as part of the celebration. Hamilton said the company looks forward to building relationships with customers throughout the region. “We’re thrilled to be in the southern part of Houston, and we’re ready to welcome our customers to come to our facility,” Hamilton said.

By applying liquid before or during winter weather events, contractors can reduce total salt usage and improve melting performance.

How Liquid De-Icing Helps Cut Salt Use, Improve Profits Every winter, snow contractors face the same challenge: rising salt costs, inconsistent supply, tighter environmental regulations and customers expecting safer surfaces faster than ever. For many contractors, simply spreading more rock salt isn’t the answer. Liquid de-icing offers a smarter approach. By applying liquid before or during winter weather events, contractors can reduce total salt usage, improve melting performance, minimize callbacks and provide a higher level of service without increasing material costs. Whether exploring liquid application for the first time or evaluating the return on a new anti-icing system, understanding how liquid de-icing works is the first step. What Is Liquid De-Icing? Liquid de-icing is the application of liquid brine (a liquid salt solution) or enhanced liquid solutions to pavement before, during or after winter storms to prevent ice from bonding to the surface and to improve melting efficiency. Unlike dry rock salt that must first dissolve before becoming effective, liquids begin working immediately because the active solution is already in liquid form. Most contractors use liquids in one of three ways:

• Anti-icing (pre-treatment before precipitation) • Pre-wetting rock salt during application • Post-treatment after plowing Each method can reduce total material usage while improving pavement conditions. Liquid de-icing and granular rock salt both help manage snow and ice, but work differently. Understanding when and how each method performs best can help contractors reduce material waste, improve service quality and choose the right strategy for each storm. How Liquid De-Icing Reduces Salt Use • Anti-Icing Prevents Bonding: Anti-icing is the practice of applying liquid before snow begins to accumulate, thus preventing ice from bonding to the pavement. Applying liquid before precipitation creates a protective layer between pavement and snow. Instead of scraping bonded ice after the storm, plows remove snow and ice much more easily because the bond never fully develops, which often results in fewer post-storm salt applications. • Better Material Coverage: Liquid sprays provide uniform coverage across pavement.

Unlike granular salt, which can bounce, scatter or be thrown beyond the intended target, liquids remain where they’re applied. That means less waste and more consistent treatment. • Faster Activation: Rock salt must absorb moisture before it begins melting ice. Liquid products are already activated; this means, faster melting, quicker response and improved performance in changing conditions. • Improved Salt Performance: Many contractors use liquids to pre-wet rock salt during spreading. Benefits include; reduced bounce, reduced scatter, improved adhesion and greater melting efficiency.

Bottom Line Liquid de-icing isn’t simply another product — it’s a different approach to winter maintenance. By focusing on prevention rather than reaction, contractors can reduce salt consumption, improve application consistency, shorten service times and deliver better results for customers. As labor and material costs continue to rise, adopting liquid de-icing may become one of the most effective salt reduction strategies available to commercial snow professionals.  (This article is reprinted courtesy of Boss Snowplow.)

Deere Expands Landscaping Portfolio at Equip Expo Building on several years of investment in commercial mowing and compact equipment, John Deere brought its most complete professional landscaping portfolio yet to the 2026 Equip Expo. The company debuted the SS36M and SS52M Sprayer-Spreader, A30M Aerator and SW635M EFI Sidewalk Snow Machine, while giving attendees a first look at the new 10 G-Tier and 12 G-Tier Utility Track Loaders. John Deere also introduced Complete Fleet, powered by John Deere Rewards, a dedicated fleet program designed to help landscape contractors build and grow their equipment fleets. “Professional contractors need equipment and support that can keep pace with every phase of the job and every season,” said Luke Gribble, marketing manager, John

Deere. “These additions help customers take on more work, from turf health and winter maintenance to landscape installation and construction, while Complete Fleet provides savings and financing options designed to grow alongside their businesses.” To help contractors expand their turf health services, the new SS36M and SS52M Sprayer-Spreaders combine liquid spraying and granular spreading capabilities in a stand-on, zero-turn design. The narrow SS36M helps crews access tighter areas, while the larger SS52M provides additional capacity for covering larger properties. Both models offer additional attachments that help contractors configure the machines for different applications and operating conditions. For contractors looking to make aeration

and overseeding more productive, the new A30M Aerator uses a stand-on, zero-turn platform to reduce operator fatigue and help crews cover more properties with less effort. Its 30-in. aerating width and automatic depth control support consistent soil penetration across varying conditions. First shown as a concept at Equip Expo 2025 the sidewalk snow machine returns following extensive winter testing as the officially named SW635M EFI Sidewalk Snow Machine. The compact stand-on model helps crews clear sidewalks with a standard WESTERN 4-ft. hydraulic blade, while available for brine and granular salt drop systems to support ice control applications. Its extended operating capacity also helps crews take on longer winter workdays. Attendees also got a first look at the

new 10 G-Tier and 12 G-Tier Utility Track Loaders (UTL), designed to help professional landscape contractors take on installation, construction and design-build work more efficiently. The two compact, powerful, and versatile stand-on models offer a range of attachments that help reduce manual labor and allow crews to efficiently complete work. Alongside the equipment introductions, John Deere launched Complete Fleet, powered by John Deere Rewards, a dedicated fleet program designed to grow with landscape contractors. The program offers increased discounts across the John Deere portfolio, including commercial mowers, compact construction equipment, compact tractors, Gator Utility Vehicles and the new turf health and four-season products.  John Deere photo

Volvo Increases Recycled Materials in Heavy-Duty Trucks Volvo Trucks announced that it has increased the use of reVolvo photo cycled and renewable materials in its newest heavy-duty truck models, reflecting the company’s effort to reduce the environmental impact from truck manufacturing. From recycled plastics and responsibly sourced wood to manufacturing processes that support circularity, Volvo Trucks is incorporating more sustainable materials throughout its vehicles to reduce environmental impact. The design philosophy is woven throughout the all-new Volvo VNL and VNR, the company’s latest generation of heavy-duty trucks designed for long-haul and regional-haul operations. “Our vision for the future of transportation extends beyond reducing tailpipe emissions,” said Peter Voorhoeve, president, Volvo Trucks North America. “Every component of a truck presents an opportunity to reduce environmental impact. The all-new Volvo VNL and VNR demonstrate how sustainable material choices can be integrated into vehicle design while maintaining the premium quality, durability and performance our customers expect from Volvo Trucks.” Beginning in May 2026, the splash shield, located inside the front wheel well, is now manufactured using 75 percent recycled plastic, which reduces carbon emissions associated with the manufacturing of this component. Additional recycled content is used throughout the cab, including carpets containing up to 50 percent recycled material and seatback components containing The all-new Volvo VNL Ultimate trim features genuine wood trim sourced from responsibly managed forests, along up to 75 percent recycled fibers. Looking ahead, Volvo Trucks plans to expand the use of with recycled materials incorporated throughout the interior components, reflecting Volvo Trucks’ commitment to recycled materials in the Volvo VNL and VNR to use recycled sustainable design. plastic in 44 instrument panel components. The material will be sourced and recycled in the United States and is expected to reduce carbon emissions associated with those parts. One of the most visible examples is the sustainably sourced real wood trim in the instrument panel. Unlike simulated wood finishes commonly used throughout the industry, Volvo Trucks offers genuine wood trim sourced from responsibly managed forests, combining premium craftsmanship with sustainable sourcing practices. “Sustainable design is most successful when customers never have to choose between environmental responsibility and product quality,” said Brian Balicki, head of design, Volvo Trucks North America. “Our goal is to create products that look and feel premium while reducing environmental impact throughout the vehicle life cycle.” These advancements are the result of ongoing collaboration across Volvo to identify and implement more sustainable materials and manufacturing processes. Teams continue to evaluate emerging technologies, including bio-based composites, recycled consumer plastics, reclaimed ocean plastics and renewable material alternatives. The sustainable materials featured in today’s Volvo VNL Volvo photo and VNR represent only the beginning of a broader strategy to increase recycled content, improve recyclability and support a Volvo Trucks uses 75 percent recycled plastic on the splash shield, reducing carbon emissions associated with the more circular future for commercial transportation.  component.

Federal Funds Help States Accelerate Critical Repairs

underscored that transportation infrastructure is more than concrete and steel. During a disaster, it becomes a lifeline connecting communities to emergency services, healthcare, supplies and recovery.”

DISASTER from page 1

“Medical professionals can reach those in need,” said Duffy, transportation secretary. “And families can get the resources they need to recover.” Sean McMaster, FHWA administrator, said the agency’s work is essential to restoring broken transportation links. The agency works with states as well as local, tribal and federal agencies in the aftermath of disaster to rebuild those links, McMaster said. “We provide the necessary funding to restore mobility and help people regain a sense of normalcy in their daily lives following disruption.” ARTBA noted the money can be used to restore facilities to predisaster conditions or modern standards, allowing for protective features. That includes “raising roadway grades, relocating roads out of floodplains, upsizing culverts and installing scour protection,” ARTBA said about the funds. North Carolina will receive $873 million to mitigate the effects of Hurricane Helene in 2024, said DOT. The hurricane resulted in historic damage in western North Carolina. It caused more than 9,000 damage sites and more than 1,400 road closures. DOT earmarked $81 million for the series of Kona Low storms in Hawaii in March of this year. The storms resulted in severe flooding throughout Hawaii. Texas will receive $52 million for repairs in the wake of heavy rainfall throughout the state. The natural disaster there included multiple bridge washouts including the FM 1431 bridge that connects Lago Vista and Marble Falls. How States Tackle Storm Head On Helene caused nearly $80 billion in damage. Staff from DOTs in Georgia, Tennessee, Florida and North Carolina detailed the impact at ARTBA’s national convention. Speakers included Emily Fish, assistant state maintenance engineer of GDOT and Joe Deering, bureau chief of TDOT. Patrick Norman, chief engineer, NCDOT, and Jennifer Marshall,

Hurricane Helene did hefty damage to four states, Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina and Florida.

chief engineer of production, FDOT, also spoke. The hurricane resulted in washed-out roads and collapsed bridges. Communities were stranded when facilities and utilities went offline. The ARTBA convention panel talked about the collaboration necessary to reconnect communities and restore critical infrastructure. In the panel discussion, they stressed that communication, preparedness and strong partnerships were crucial. Marshall said years of hurricane experience in Florida enabled rapid staging in advance of the storm. Crews, fuel, communications equipment, Starlink systems and emergency supplies were deployed before landfall. Because of this, teams were able to assess damage and begin recovery immediately. She stressed that keeping the public informed with accurate, real-time information was just as important as rebuilding roads and bridges. Fish said Georgia faced widespread communication outages and relied on Starlink technology to reconnect first responders during the critical first 72 hours. She believes the storm reinforced the value of year-round training, emergency contracting readiness and resilience planning. Norman described Helene as unlike any disaster North Carolina

had previously experienced. One of the most significant efforts was restoring access to the Baxter facility near Marion, a nationally critical manufacturer of IV solutions to U.S. hospitals. ARTBA panel speakers recounted how teams installed a modular bridge to reconnect workers to the facility and help restore a vital healthcare supply chain. North Carolina officials also stressed the need for stronger communication between state and local governments before disasters occur. After their experiences with Hurricane Helene, they are now strengthening those relationships. Speaking for Tennessee, Deering said real-time decision-making and

collaboration were critical. In fact, senior leaders relocated closer to the affected area to speed response efforts. Recovery teams focused on restoring infrastructure, utilities and community access. The state also highlighted its commitment to worker safety and the mental well-being of employees responding to the disaster. Following their discussion at ARTBA’s conference, agencies are applying the lessons of Helene. They are “strengthening emergency plans, improving communications capabilities, (and) investing in more resilient infrastructure,” said the association. These agencies also are “taking a risk-based approach to protecting critical transportation corridors,” said ARTBA. “The panel Adobe Stock photo

The emergency rescue funds awarded by the fed are meant to fast-track projects so that people can work, receive services and do business in a return to their normal routine.

No Damaged State Left Behind Duffy said the funds will help states accelerate critical repairs to roads, bridges and other infrastructure damaged by natural disasters and catastrophic events. FHWA reports that in total the agency has invested $3.4 billion across all impacted states impacted by Hurricane Helene. The $873 million in North Carolina, he said, will help finish the continued rebuild effort following Helene throughout the western part of the state. In all, nearly $3 billion has gone to North Carolina alone. The DOT worked with federal and state partners to accelerate the I-40 recovery effort. According to ttnews.com, North Carolina needed $425 million in emergency repairs and approximately $6 billion for public roads and bridges following Helene. Transport Topics reported that the state received $1.15 billion for rebuilding efforts in 2025 under the same program. The DOT said that year that overall emergency relief for Hurricane Helene repairs in the state had totaled $2 billion. “More than 2 years after Hurricane Helene, roads in WNC remain impassable,” said Sen. Ted Budd. “This funding is an important step toward restoring reliable transportation & helping our communities move forward.” The hurricane severely damaged I-40 through Pigeon River Gorge, a major freight corridor in the state, reported ttnews.com. The estimated $2.8 billion reconstruction project is expected to be completed in 2029. One lane reopened in each direction at the Tennessee-North Carolina border in early 2025. In 2024, the state DOT said that before the storm, an average of 30,000 vehicles traveled through the section each day. see DISASTER page 49

FAE expands its range of forestry attachments with a new mulcher designed specifically for mini-track loaders and articulated mini-loaders: the BL0/ML for 24 to 40 hp carriers. The new attachment can mulch light vegetation, brush and trees up to 4 in. in diameter. Applications include roadside and railway maintenance; canal, river and lake bank maintenance; wildlife area management and protection; vineyard and orchard maintenance; and commercial and sports green area upkeep. The head is designed to deliver high productivity, long service life and easy maintenance. Featuring Bite Limiter technology, this head is able to deliver consistent, efficient mulching. Its rotor features special wearresistant steel profiles that limit the depth of the cut. This reduces power demand and helps maintain a constant working speed, delivering outstanding performance when mulching any type of wood. Bite Limiter

technology also reduces the risk of rotor stalling and optimizes fuel consumption. The BL0/ML gear motor minimizes routine maintenance and eliminates the need for a dedicated case drain line. Spike PRO counter blades reduce power absorption and produce a finer final product. The Spike PRO system uses offset, interchangeable counter blades to deliver finer mulching and smoother flow of wet material. Their special design makes them effective on both very hard wood and more flexible brush. Rounding out the attachment’s features are interchangeable, adjustable skids for greater operating precision and adaptable mounting plates that enable use with a range of miniloaders. The standard safety chain and Lexan windshield further enhance operator safety. The new BL0/ML can be equipped with BL/MINI blades or C/3/MINI teeth and is available in BL0/ML-75 and BL0/ML-100 widths. 

Bo’s Tree Service Aids Community Following Texas Hill Country Flooding When devastating flooding struck the Texas Hill Country, Bo Cobb did not have to travel to Hunt, Texas, to help with the recovery: He already was in the middle of it. Cobb, owner of Bo’s Tree Service, has been part of the Hunt community for decades. He started the company 25 years ago, building it into an eight-person operation that handles tree trimming and removal, landscaping, excavation, river and creek cleanup and other property work throughout the area. His 18-year-old son, Hunter, works alongside him. When the flooding hit, the experience of Cobb and his crew, along with the company’s fleet of equipment, quickly took on a different purpose. Before Cobb could help elsewhere, however, he first had to find a way out of his own road. Floodwaters deposited 6 to 8 ft. of gravel on portions of the roadway, leaving Cobb and others in the area cut off. Cobb, his son and additional crew members went to work with equipment to begin clearing a path toward the main highway. It took them 12 hours. “We had to dig our way out,” Cobb said. Once they reached the highway, Cobb encountered residents who needed more immediate help. Water was still several feet deep in places, and Cobb used a 30,000-lb. forestry truck equipped with an 80-ft. boom to help reach people stranded in trees for hours. Cobb and his son remained involved in the initial recovery before turning their attention and equipment toward helping residents begin the cleanup. “We implemented all my equipment and started helping neighbors and friends in the community,” Cobb said. The work was extensive. Floodwaters moved trees, gravel and other debris throughout the area, while roads, low-water crossings and residential properties needed to be cleared before residents could begin returning to them. For Cobb’s crew, that meant performing many of the same types of work they handle every day but under much different circumstances. They removed gravel from roads and access points, cleared trees and debris and helped clean up properties damaged by the flooding. With eight employees and a varied equipment fleet, Bo’s Tree Service was able to move from one type of cleanup work to another as needs changed. Nearly everything in Cobb’s equipment fleet was put to work, including excavators, dump trucks, dump trailers and about 10 Vermeer machines. “Definitely all my Vermeer equipment, which are chippers and stump grinders and mini-skid steers,” Cobb said. “Those were busy nonstop.” Some of the company’s equipment was lost in the flooding while located at job sites. Cobb replaced the machines so his

crew could continue operating throughout the cleanup. During the initial stages of the work, the Vermeer brush chippers became “workhorses” as crews dealt with downed trees and other woody debris left behind by the floodwaters. As debris was removed and the work progressed further

“We had to dig our way out ... we implemented all my equipment and started helping neighbors and friends in the community ... definitely all my Vermeer equipment, which are chippers and stump grinders and mini-skid steers.”

onto individual properties, equipment needs began to change. Stump grinders were used as crews continued clearing damaged trees, while Vermeer mini skid steers allowed operators to work in areas that could not accommodate larger machines. “They could get into tight places, and they could get into yards and things where you couldn’t get a large machine,” Cobb said. That versatility was important because the cleanup wasn’t confined to open areas or roadways. Crews also had to work around homes and other areas where access was limited, requiring Cobb to match the size and type of equipment to the work in front of them. For Cobb and the Hunt community, the work did not end when the immediate emergency passed. The force of the flooding changed properties along the Guadalupe River and left behind cleanup and rebuilding work that Cobb expects will continue for years. As the larger debris is removed, property owners continue facing tree work, excavation, access repairs and other projects necessary to restore their land. For Bo’s Tree Service, the response demonstrated how the company’s everyday equipment and experience could be applied when its own community needed it most. For Cobb, the company’s role in the recovery comes back to helping the people and place he has called home for decades. “We’re here for our community,” Cobb said.  Bo’s Tree Service logo

Iron Ranch Puts Brand On Display With Custom Wrap

Iron Ranch photo

Iron Ranch, which operates in Indiana and Texas, was selected as the winner of CEG’s grand-prize equipment wrap giveaway.

Katherine Petrik

CEG SENIOR EDITOR

Iron Ranch Equipment is putting its company identity on display with a custom equipment wrap created through a giveaway sponsored by Construction Equipment Guide (CEG) earlier this year at ConExpoCon/AGG 2026. Iron Ranch, which operates in Indiana and Texas, was selected as the winner of CEG’s grand-prize equipment wrap giveaway. Dirty Graphix, a Minnesota-based company specializing in custom heavy equipment graphics, partnered with CEG to provide the wrap and worked with Iron Ranch Equipment to develop a design for one of the company’s compact track loaders. Dirty Graphix was founded to develop a product that combines equipment branding with a practical approach to working in demanding environments. The company produces custom, precut wrap kits for heavy equipment, offering contractors and rental businesses a way to distinguish their machines while promoting their brands on job sites. The company’s products are designed for a range of equipment, including skid steers, compact track loaders, excavators, dozers and tractors. Its approach allows customers to work with a designer to develop graphics suited to their branding preferences and selected machine.

Iron Ranch photo

The machine selected for the wrap by Iron Ranch Equipment was a Cat 259D3 compact track loader. The project gave the company an opportunity to incorporate its branding into a piece of equipment used in its rental business. The design process began in late July, when the Dirty Graphix team contacted Iron Ranch Equipment to discuss the machine, company logos and design preferences. Stacia Murphy, vice president of growth and partnerships of Iron Ranch Equipment, provided the Cat 259D3 model information along with the company’s logo files and design inspiration. Murphy expressed particular interest in the patriotic eagle featured in examples on the Dirty Graphix website. An Iron Ranch Equipment T-shirt design also served as a reference for the company’s preferred look. Dirty Graphix then began developing a preliminary design for the machine, working with Iron Ranch Equipment to bring its branding to the equipment. For the Dirty Graphix team, the collaboration provided an opportunity to demonstrate how customized graphics can help construction and rental businesses create a recognizable identity for their equipment. For Iron Ranch Equipment, the project was about more than changing the appearance of a machine. It also was an opportunity to make the company’s identity more visible to customers and others in the construction

industry. “Equipment is what we rent, but people and partnerships are what we build our business around,” said Garrett Lalonde, Indiana regional manager of Iron Ranch Equipment. “Collaborating with Dirty Graphix gave us an opportunity to bring Iron Ranch Equipment’s identity to life on the equipment itself. We’re proud to have a finished product that stands out and

represents the company we’re building.” The completed wrap demonstrates how equipment can serve as more than a tool on the job site, providing rental companies and contractors with another way to promote their businesses while maintaining a consistent brand identity.

Conditions in Alaska Prove Challenging for Granite DENALI from page 1

However, by the summer of 2021, the movement had increased to more than a foot per day, making continued maintenance and safe passage impractical. The National Park Service was forced to close the road, leaving nearly 47 m. of the road inaccessible and cutting off access to the western portion of the park. Hence the need for the Polychrome Pass Bridge, which will provide a permanent crossing over the active slide rather than repeatedly rebuilding a road on unstable ground. Granite Construction Project Manager Patrick Murphy told Construction Equipment Guide that the work will also address several related geologic hazards. “In addition to spanning the Pretty Rocks Landslide, the project includes slope stabilization, permafrost protection, drainage work, excavation, road realignment and improvements near the adjacent Perlite Landslide,” he said. Collaboration Determines Ideal Bridge Type The Polychrome Pass Bridge itself is fairly conventional. It’s a 475-ft.-long, 50-ft.-tall, and 26-ft.-wide, single-span steel truss bridge. The width between the guardrails is 19 ft. While the width supports two lanes, the approach and departure angles make two-way traffic on the bridge tight. Other work on the project includes: • approximately 70,000 cubic yards of controlled blasting, selective excavation, and rock bolting to leave a natural-looking rock face; • road realignment at the bridge approaches, including geometry needed to accommodate buses; • micropiles, ground anchors, rock bolts or dowels, to anchor the abutments; • precast, post-tensioned, grouted concrete abutments;

• a soil-nail wall and other slope-stabilization measures to protect the abutments; • thermosyphons to maintain permafrost ice layers beneath and around the east abutment; • drainage improvements; • retaining wall construction near the Perlite Landslide; and • bridge approaches, deck coating, final grading and site restoration for demobilization. Selecting the bridge type and building the bridge itself, however, were far from ordinary. Originally, the team was contemplating constructing an Acrow-type pre-engineered modular bridge,” Murphy said. “During the pursuit, we determined that the proposed modular bridge concept could not span the required distance and that the original budget and schedule were not sufficient for the conditions.” The Granite team recommended a collaborative delivery model because the geotechnical challenges required participation from all parties, including the Federal Highway Administration, the design firm and the contractor, to resolve, Murphy said. Originally, the project was going to be delivered via design-build, but the owners shifted to CMGC. The shift to CM/GC delivery was particularly important because it allowed Granite and its specialty partners to participate with the FHWA’s designer, Jacobs, before the design was complete. “We were able to review constructability, developed the launch method, investigated temporary-foundation needs, packaged work for early procurement, allocated risks and negotiated each major package as the design matured,” Murphy said. “This preserved the existing designer’s and geotechnical consultant’s knowledge while adding construction and erec-

tion expertise early enough to influence the solution.” Ultimately, the team determined that a truss bridge was ideal. “Geological conditions did not support a two-sided cantilever, so the team pivoted to a single-sided launch from a semi-balanced cantilever state with a smaller launch nose truss initially spanning the gap,” Murphy said. Challenging Conditions Impact Bridge Erection Large general contractors like Granite deal with challenging conditions all the time. However, the situation in Denali was unique because conditions were changing as the project progressed. The landslide remains active. In addition, conditions vary substantially across the site. “Conditions on the site range from competent basalt to loose colluvium and ice-rich permafrost and these materials surround an actively moving landslide,” Granite Vice President Todd Keller told Construction Equipment Guide. “The geology encountered in one location could differ significantly from conditions only a short distance away.” Getting materials to the job site, which has limited staging space, was also challenging. Many materials were handled multiple times before being incorporated into the project. Keller described the journey of steel bridge components. A Midwestern mill produced the steel components, freighted to the fabricator in Portland, hauled to a shipping port in Seattle, barged north to Whittier, Alaska, freighted by rail to Fairbanks, loaded on trucks for delivery to an offsite yard near Denali Park, and then broken into loads suitable for transport into the park on “clean” trucks. All loads delivered inside the park need to be cleaned and inspected for invasive species. Loads for delivery to laydown yards within the park generally had to move at night to avoid conflicts with visitor bus traffic. The lack of space in the area also impacted the crew. There’s no housing nearby, so the team established a self-contained worker camp approximately 18 mi. away. Food and water were brought in, and waste was removed regularly. Since the park is home to grizzly bears and other opportunistic wildlife, all food and refuse was stored in locked, bear-proof containers. Erecting the bridge also challenged the team. see DENALI page 44

Team Designs Launching System to Place Bridge DENALI from page 42

“We designed a unique launching system involving temporary foundations, launch frames, specialty rollers and jacks, and a temporary launching truss installed within the permanent truss,” Murphy said. The team incorporated the temporary truss within the permanent truss to enable the launch. Bridge erection required a specialty Liebherr 60-ton crawler crane that could fit within the permanent bridge truss and hoist all bridge members for piece-by-piece erection. To reduce fabrication and erection risk, the subcontractor completed a trial assembly at the fabricator’s Portland facility. The team assembled the full bridge there over approximately two months, disassembled it, then shipped it to Alaska. Successful Project Project construction began in summer 2023 and was substantially completed in summer 2026, although cleanup work remains. Construction finished ahead of schedule and under budget with a total project cost of just under $208 million. This is espe-

DOT Secretary Sean Duffy said the emergency funds will help states accelerate critical repairs to roads, bridges and other infrastructure damaged by natural disasters and catastrophic events.

Fixing Damaged Roads, Bridges Takes Precedence DISASTER from page 25

“The Trump administration will never forget North Carolina,” said Duffy, who toured the state post-Helene in 2025. He said with this final emergency relief package, the job can be finished and every community across western North Carolina can be made whole. McMaster said FHWA has worked to deliver critical roadway and bridge repairs at record speed. FHWA’s Emergency Relief Program provides funding to help states perform repairs caused by major natural disasters and extreme weather events. The agency announced that $5 million in emergency relief funds would go to repair road and bridge damage caused by Kona Low storms in March. Rebuilding projects include the H-3 Kionaole Road culvert and the Hana Highway MP 10. “The Trump administration is committed to helping Hawaiian families recover from the storms,” said Duffy. The Kona Low storms devastated critical transportation networks earlier this year. “This is about ensuring our communities can reach necessary resources and rebuild after this natural disaster,” Duffy added. FHWA is working closely with the HDOT to complete repairs that resulted from the storms as soon as possible,” said McMaster. The funding “will help restore travel for residents who rely on these highways for their livelihoods and businesses that need them to move their goods,” he added. “FHWA will provide the federal support needed until Hawaii fully recovers from this event.” The storms resulted in severe flooding throughout Hawaii. Roadways, bridges and other highway infrastructure were flooded because of water and debris. Further, many roads were not safe for travel and needed reconstruction and permanent reinforcement to restore stability.

These “quick release” funds are an initial installment of funds toward restoring essential transportation links, according to FHWA. Additional funds needed to repair damage in Hawaii will be supported by the emergency relief program through nationwide funding allocations. In August the DOT announced immediate availability of $26 million in emergency relief funds for the Indiana DOT to help with flood damage. During the month of August, Indiana was impacted by a 1,000-year rainfall event and derecho, the federal agency said. These natural disasters disrupted the state’s transportation infrastructure through widespread highway closures, bridge damage and debris. The storm dropped up to 14 in. in 10 hours overwhelming transportation infrastructure and washing out many federal-aid roadways. “Our hearts go out to the families across Indiana that were devastated by extreme flooding,” Duffy said in announcing the emergency funds release. “We’re moving this emergency funding immediately to help the state reopen vital transportation links that residents rely on. This Department is committed to ensuring the state has the federal resources it needs to rebuild.” The funding will help the state quickly fix broken transportation links, said McMaster, so people can get back to work, run businesses and return to daily routines. With the funds, INDOT can move forward “expeditiously” with replacement of the collapsed Hazel Dell Parkway bridge in Carmel. Repairs to Interstate 70, State Route 38 and multiple bridges in Wayne County, severely damaged during the storm, can quickly be launched. Hazel Dell Parkway, with an annual daily traffic of more than 10,000, provides important north-south access for commuters, said FHWA.  CEG
