Ranger Central, South Team Up On $37 Million
I-595 Contract
(3rd Quarter 2010)
A major South Florida
corridor is getting a $1.2 billion makeover and Ranger’s Central and South
Divisions are key players on a $37 million segment of the work.
Under its largest public-private partnership to date, the state awarded a
design-build-finance-operate-maintain contract to concessionaire I-595 Express
to widen 10.5 miles of I-595 and add three reversible, variable-toll express
lanes between the eastbound and westbound lanes. The work includes upgrades to
SR-84, which runs tightly alongside I-595.
Ranger’s contract covers Segment D, about 2.5 miles that connect with Florida’s
Turnpike, US-441/SR-7, and I-95. The Central Division is handling grading and
utilities, overseen by V.P. Miguel Correa, who led the successful bidding
effort, while Ranger South is providing the asphalt and paving services.
Work on Segment D started in June and is scheduled for completion by the end of
2013. Including work by other contractors, the makeover will be finished in
2014.
Handling 180,000 cars a day, I-595 connects with I-75 and the Sawgrass
Expressway to the west, while providing access to Ft. Lauderdale International
Airport and Port Everglades to the east.
