About

A devastating flood destroyed a crucial bridge in Adams County, CO, disrupting the daily commute of nearly 1,000 vehicles. The shortest detour was several miles on a narrow dirt road, which was not ideal for residents and couldn't accommodate agricultural equipment or freight trucks. The county needed an urgent solution and reached out to experienced bridge construction contractors to use the Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC) project delivery method.

Replacing the bridge posed significant challenges and required the need to design and build a resilient bridge for future floods. Two contractors submitted multiple options, including installing a temporary structure in summer 2024, followed by a permanent solution in 2025, but initial estimates suggested a costly ($5 million) and time-consuming process.

 

The county ultimately chose the CMC Bridge solution because InQuik Bridges are pre-engineered and prefabricated, ensuring efficient and easy installation for the contractor. More importantly, this solution provided a cast-in-place integral structure that is both permanent and has proven disaster resilience. The project was delivered in less than 6 months because of the innovative InQuik construction process, shaving a year off the original timeline, and was completed for $2 million, saving the county $3 million. The CM/GC delivery process was a collaborative effort between the county, consulting engineers, local contractors, C-DOT and CMC.
