The project cost is valued at $2.3 billion.
Arcadis' scope of work for the project includes updating existing interchanges and roadways. Additionally, Arcadis will deliver a wide range of specialized engineering and design services to support the successful execution of the project including environmental studies and permitting; traffic engineering, featuring a Transportation Management Plan and design of permanent signage, signals, and pavement markings; Intelligent Transportation Systems design, structural design for sign support structures, and roadway and drainage design; bridge design for the I-10/I-210 flyover ramp; and hydraulic models for the main span bridge.
