Global construction and development firm Skanska and joint venture partner Coffman Specialties have been awarded a contract by San Bernardino County Transportation Authority to carry out the $390-million Interstate 15 (I-15) Corridor Freight Improvement and Express Lanes Project. The project involves the construction of two new express lanes with price-managed, tolled facilities on the median of both I-15 North and South, spanning a total of 10.8 miles.
“Once complete, these lanes will improve traffic flow, reduce congestion, and save travel time for the over 200,000 daily commuters on this stretch of highway,” said James Bailey, EVP of Skanska USA Civil’s West Coast operations.
Work includes widening both the inside and outside lanes of the roadway, modifications to bridge structures, installation of retaining walls, improvements to drainage and electrical systems, concrete and asphalt paving and earthwork. The project will commence in January and is expected to reach final completion in July 2028.
