SYLMAR, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Tutor Perini Corporation (NYSE: TPC), a leading civil and building
construction company, today announced that its subsidiary, Tutor-Saliba
Corp., recently received the Project of the Year Award from the
California Transportation Foundation for the Caldecott Tunnel Fourth
Bore Project. This award recognizes the premier transportation project
among projects throughout California. Tutor-Saliba constructed this
major project for the California Department of Transportation
(Caltrans). Tutor-Saliba is led by Tutor Perini’s Civil Group CEO, Jack
Frost.
The Caldecott Tunnel Fourth Bore Project won this award over several
other high-profile projects including the San Francisco-Oakland Bay
Bridge East Span Seismic Safety Project.
The Caldecott Tunnel Fourth Bore opened to traffic on November 16, 2013,
on schedule and under budget, saving motorists on average 10 to 15
minutes of commuting time. The project included the construction of a
3,399-foot long, 41-foot wide, two-lane concrete tunnel on the heavily
traveled State Route 24 in Alameda and Contra Costa counties. The
project included seven emergency cross passages connecting to the
existing third bore, sixteen retaining walls, soundwalls, two electrical
substations, a two-story Operations, Maintenance and Control building,
and various roadway improvements. The project also featured wide travel
lanes, roadway shoulders, bright lighting, emergency exits along the
length of the tunnel, and state-of-the-art fire and life safety systems.
The tunnel’s incident detection and response systems allow monitoring
and response to threats inside the tunnel, including detecting and
suppressing fires and other hazards, and provide real-time information
to help motorists safely exit in an emergency.
