Project Description

Beaver Excavating completed 5.3 miles of phased reconstruction of interstate 75 around the City of Lima including two major interchanges for the Ohio Department of Transportation. Along with the project’s 400,000 cy’s of earthwork, the project included six mainline bridges over the Indiana & Ohio Railroad, Ohio State Route 65, and the Little Ottawa River and three local overpass structures including Breese Road, McClain Road, & Hanthorn Road — all completed one to nine months ahead of schedule. Beaver self-performed all geotechnical and below grade work including drilled shafts and piling for the project’s bridge structures.

Working with a team of over 35 subcontractors and suppliers on the project, Beaver also coordinated with over 18 utility owners for relocation, planning, phasing, and protection activities. Beaver also partnered with the Ohio State Highway Patrol to coordinate emergency response through the construction zones and moved mainline traffic into its final pattern one year ahead of schedule helping to minimize disruption to the traveling public.
