HEAVY CIVIL $100 MILLION & OVER


Replacement Project” A joint venture of Skanska and Stacy & Witbeck served as CMGC contractor on the iconic Sixth Street Viaduct Replacement project in Los Angeles. Originally constructed in 1932 to connect downtown Los Angeles with


Boyle Heights, the Sixth Street viaduct was the longest and most recognizable of all the river bridges in Los Angeles. Almost 80 years later, the safety and integrity of the viaduct were in serious jeopardy. Te City of Los Angeles selected the replacement viaduct design, “Ribbon


of Light,” to retain its predecessor’s iconic history. Te project included the demolition of the existing viaduct and construction of a new 3,500-ft-long viaduct in its place. Spanning the Los Angeles River, 18 railroad tracks, U.S. 101 and several


local streets, the project required close coordination with the City, designer, and numerous project stakeholders and third parties. Te project team over- came an array of challenges and employed a high degree of collaboration to devise optimal solutions that ultimately facilitated a world-class engineering and construction achievement. Also selected as finalists in this category were Flatiron for “Redlands Passen-


ger Rail Project” and Teichert Construction for “Sac I-5 Corridor Enhancement Project.”


Skanska received a Constructor award for Sixth Street Viaduct Replacement Project.
