In the fast-paced, high-stakes world of infrastructure improvement, few projects demand as much precision, dedication, and teamwork as NDOT Job #3963. Q&D Construction delivered on all fronts, transforming a daunting challenge into a resounding success while maintaining an unwavering commitment to safety, quality, and efficiency.
The project’s complexity was immense: four marathon weekends between the airport viaduct and the Moana Bridge, with traffic reduced to a single lane on I-580. Yet, Q&D Construction rose to the occasion, seamlessly removing nearly 120,000 square feet of 9-inch-deep concrete and paving it back with asphalt—four separate times. This was done with a meticulous focus on minimizing disruption to the traveling public while adhering to strict timelines.
The scope extended beyond pavement. Q&D installed 34,000 tons of paving and placed 5.9 million pounds of polymer material on bridge decks, ensuring long-term durability. In addition, nearly 600,000 pounds of multi-layer material repaired bridge decks, demonstrating a mastery of complex techniques. A $5 million anti-climb fence installation along the I-580 corridor further underscored Q&D’s comprehensive approach to infrastructure improvement.
Such results do not come by chance but through exceptional leadership and teamwork. The project team’s ability to anticipate and resolve challenges earned high praise from stakeholders. As the project owner noted, “Q&D’s team didn’t just meet our expectations—they exceeded them. Their ability to coordinate under tight timeframes, adapt to unforeseen issues, and deliver a product of this caliber is a testament to their expertise and commitment to excellence.”
NDOT Job #3963 stands as a shining example of what Q&D Construction embodies: a problem-solving powerhouse that turns complexity into opportunity, achieving remarkable outcomes that serve communities for generations to come.
"Q&D's collaboration was essential for addressing all aspects and ensuring contingency plans were ready to respond swiftly to unforeseen issues, keeping the project on schedule. The successful completion of this project showed Q&D's commitment to delivering challenging projects in a timely manner without compromising quality or safety for both employees working and the traveling public. Completing these crucial improvements on I-580 from Mill St. to Peckham Lane was, by definition, meeting the challenge of a difficult job. It will keep I-580 users safe and connected for years to come. "
