GAI provided preliminary design services for a 5.5-mile section of 4-lane, limited-access toll road, along with a parallel non-tolled local service road. GAI’s design consisted of 18 new bridge structures, including a new bridge over the Wekiva River and 5,700 feet of new wildlife bridge structures, enabling animals to safely pass between the Seminole State Forest and Rock Springs Run State Reserve. Segment 6 is located in one of the most environmentally sensitive areas of Central Florida; therefore, the design also required close coordination with local agencies/stakeholders throughout the preliminary design process, including achieving a Section 7(A) determination through the National Park Service. GAI prepared concept plans and the design-build RFP on this project, and is currently acting as the owner’s representative in support of FDOT District 5.
