While we were able to relocate four major utilities, our plans would bury an access manhole to a major fiber optics provider beneath 25 feet of embankment at the bridge approach. We designed an access door and tunnel directly into the side of the approach retaining wall that allowed the utilities to stay in place, saving the fiber optics provider nearly $1 million and six months of contract time.
