This is along our I-40 project that is reconstructing a 5+ mile portion of the highway that was destroyed by Hurricane Helene. We drove this causeway and the work being done here is very impressive. So proud to be a part of it.
Everything is bigger here! This video shows driving on the construction causeway along the Pigeon River parallel to I-40 in western NC. To provide a sense of scale, that is a D9 Caterpillar in the beginning of the video. The causeway averages 10 feet tall by 45 feet wide and is approximately 5 miles long. The interstate traffic is over 50 feet above the causeway. RK&K is proud to work on this reconstruction project with NCDOT, HNTB, WSP, and Ames Construction.
