<p>The estimated $65-million project will improve traffic flow and safety at the U.S. 60/65 interchange in southeast Springfield for the next 20 years by:<br />&bull; Building flyover ramps for the two busiest movements &ndash; northbound U.S. 65-to-westbound U.S. 60 and eastbound U.S. 60-to-northbound U.S. 65. This will eliminate the short weaving area on the northbound U.S. 65 bridge over U.S. 60<br />&bull; Building bridges for U.S. 60 and adjacent ramps over the BNSF railroad track serving the Springfield City Utilities power plant. High-speed traffic will no longer have to stop for coal trains at the crossing west of U.S. 65<br />&bull; Building new northbound and southbound U.S. 65 bridges<br />&bull; Widening and re-decking the eastbound and westbound U.S. 60 bridges over Lake Springfield, and extending the ramp lanes onto the bridges.<br /><br />Geotechnology&rsquo;s scope of services will include drilling, settlement gauges, Crosshole Sonic Logging (CSL) and Pile Dynamic Analysis (PDA). The project will be managed by the team in the firm&rsquo;s Overland Park, KS office.&nbsp; <br />-</p>";s:10:"category_0";s:1:"4";s:10:"category_1";s:2:"56";}
