The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) and Ferrovial's I-85 and North Druid Hills Reconstruction Project in Atlanta is a prime example of efficient collaboration amidst political and stakeholder complexities. This ambitious project involves the removal and replacement of a 6-lane, 3-span structure within an accelerated timeline of 90 days, as well as the creation of a new hospital driveway to accommodate the key stakeholder, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta's monumental $2 billion campus expansion. With the governor’s commitment to a new interstate interchange, this initiative is set to elevate access and connectivity for everyone. Despite facing utility conflicts and significant traffic congestion, the project team skillfully managed these challenges through meticulous coordination and the innovative use of digital integration. By focusing on stakeholder satisfaction and effective scope management, this project not only enhances Atlanta’s infrastructure but also sets a new benchmark for urban development. Attendees will gain valuable insights into successful stakeholder partnering, team coordination, digital integration, and communication strategies, illustrated through real-world case studies such as the Gravix wall system and temporary telecom utility management. Discover how GDOT and Ferrovial are transforming Atlanta's landscape and promoting engagement and opportunities for small businesses in design-build projects.
