US 17 Washington Bypass Design/Build
As a part of the Flatiron-United Joint Venture Design Build team, Sungate completed drainage design and permitting for this $192 million project. This contract was the largest amount ever awarded by NCDOT. Sungate worked closely with NCDOT, NCDENR, and the Design Build Contractor to produce drainage design and environmental permits in an abbreviated time span to meet project deadlines. Sungate was also involved in value engineering of the design to help reduce the project cost. The highlight of this project consists of a 3 mile bridge that spans the Tar River and adjacent wetlands. The bridge will be constructed using two state of the art truss cranes that will utilize "top down" construction nearly eliminating disturbance of the underlying wetlands.
