The San Francisco County Transportation Authority retained AECOM for the design of the new westbound ramps providing access between the new east-span of San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge and Yerba Buena Island. The purpose of the project is to improve mobility, safety, and access by replacing two westbound existing ramps on I-80 constructed in the 1930s. The new ramps will provide a significant improvement geometrically and operationally over the current ramps, and will include bridge structures that complement the SFOBB architecture. The project was cleared under an EIR/EIS prepared by AECOM. The construction contract of the project was awarded in late 2013, and construction completion is targeted for late 2016. This paper discusses a number of innovative design solutions to address the project challenges associated with the site conditions, environmental restrictions, geotechnical challenges, and a high level of seismicity. |
