16th St NW Bridge Replacement
Project Summary
The Replacement of 16th Street NW Bridge over Military Road NW was a design/build fast-tracked bridge construction project. J-Dos provided Construction Inspection and Community Outreach services. This was a signature project for pre-engineered structures and traffic management in Washington, DC.
Fast Track Project
The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) required that the project be fast tracked, with minimal disruption to the daily traffic flows. Prefabricated structural members were used for speed of construction. The project also required that creative traffic controls be executed to minimize the disruptive impact on the heavily travelled 16thStreet corridor.
The J-Dos team worked closely with all stakeholders, which included the Ward Council representative, churches, Advisory Neighborhood Commissions (ANC), residents, and businesses impacted by the reconstruction to ensure transparent communications between DDOT’s representatives and the affected community; Employed a variety of community engagement practices to relay the important information to neighbors, business owners and other stake holders (including: door to door canvassing, the development and maintenance of a project web site, mailers, participating in discussion forums, and DC print outlets).
J-Dos was also responsible for daily inspections of construction work and maintenance of traffic; prepared daily logs regarding materials, labor, work progress, defects and rejections, this also included detailed records of contractor performances; Documented receipt of material certification as required by the design specifications to ensure compliance with all standards and codes and; confirmed that all materials were approved and/ or certified by the QA/QC Division.
