The Missouri Department of Transportation has selected Gateway Constructors for the $535 million Highway 40 reconstruction project in St. Louis, the largest highway project in Missouri history and the agency’s first design-build project. Construction is set to begin in spring 2007 and completed in October 2010. Project information and updates are available at www.thenewI64.org.
Holcim (US) Inc. has selected Washington Group Alberici (WGA), a majority-owned joint venture formed between Alberici Constructors Inc. and Washington Group International, to build Holcim’s new $905 million cement plant in Ste. Genevieve County, Mo. The plant, expected to be completed in late 2009, will have the capacity to produce four million metric tons of cement a year.
