With the 27th Annual Excellence in Concrete Awards Competition concluded, we are proud to announce that the Best Overall Concrete Award was awarded to:
I-10 & I-12 College Drive Flyover Ramp Design Build Project
The I‑10 & I‑12 College Drive Flyover Ramp Design‑Build Project eliminated one of Louisiana’s most dangerous interstate weaving movements by creating a direct two‑lane exit to College Drive. Instead of building a new I‑10 westbound flyover, the design‑build team introduced a unique solution that realigned I‑12 westbound to pass under the existing I‑10 structure, reducing cost, neighborhood impacts, and construction disruption.
This approach kept the corridor open, avoided relocating sound barriers, minimized noise and light effects, and streamlined construction by rebuilding the I‑10 westbound overpass in its original footprint.
Executing this work within a live interchange carrying over 100,000 vehicles per day required exceptional precision, coordination, and tightly controlled construction windows to ensure safety for both motorists and workers.
Project submitted by Nick Fleming with Daigle Industries.
