I-95 Commercial Vehicle Weigh and Inspection Complex

This 100-acre complex, located on I-95 at the Susquehanna River, includes weigh-in-motion and static scales, five buildings (two static scale buildings, two truck inspection buildings and one State Police barracks), access roads, parking lots, and a hazardous material containment area. Associated work included modification of the toll plaza to provide one-way collection of tolls, modification of the I-95/MD 222 interchange, and rehabilitation of the I-95 bridges over Frenchtown Road.

Our services included site evaluation; conceptual, preliminary and final site, roadway and water/sewer design; structural design of the buildings; traffic analyses; wetland delineation, permit application, and coordination with the wetland regulatory agencies; and partnering during construction. Of special concern was an automated signal system interconnected with the toll booths to direct truck drivers, when needed, to the static scales/inspection buildings. Architectural and mechanical/electrical design services were provided by subconsultants.

This project won the 1997 "Outstanding Civil Engineering Achievement - Major Construction Project" from the Maryland Section of the American Society of Civil Engineers.
