Abstract
The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) is substantially through construction of a major urban corridor widening of OR217 in Beaverton, OR. The scope of the project includes several ramp widenings, new alignments, retaining walls, sound walls, and multiple new bridge structures to allow for a 3-mile continuous auxiliary lane in the southbound direction and a 1-mile continuous auxiliary lane in the northbound direction. Geologic conditions and site constraints dictated use of varying foundation types for bridge support including drilled shafts, micropiles, and driven piles, as well as various retaining wall types including soil nail walls, soldier pile tieback walls, MSE walls, and CIP gravity walls. The presentation will focus on the geotechnical and geological design and construction issues encountered by the hybrid team comprised of ODOT, Shannon and Wilson, and DOWL.
