Overcoming Challenges

The project requires precise coordination due to the limited on-site storage space and the need to align with city-approved lane closures. Special permits and escorts are needed for the oversized segments, and the portal frames must be installed in a specific sequence to match the overnight lane closures, with portions of the frames being AESS4, requiring high-quality finishing for a seamless appearance.
