Scope Of Work
Beach Drive is a busy commuter route in Northwest DC. In the past it was deteriorated for years, in despair of cracks, crumbling roadways, and six eroding bridges along the 6.5 mile stretch. Fort Myer Construction worked on the 4 phase project that rehabilitated this roadway which included: excavating the entire area, installing a new gravel base, and laying fresh asphalt. Phase 1 was wrapped up Spring 2017 and included improvements of all six bridges, one tunnel, and parking areas were rebuilt. Our teams improved the stormwater drainage and added new traffic safety features like guardrails and centerline rumble strips. The adjacent trail used by bikers, runners, and pedestrians, was widened to 10 feet in areas and a new trail was constructed along Beach Drive from Rock Creek Parkway to Tilden Street.
