KY IR-264 Watterson Expressway
Successfully completed high-profile project ahead of schedule.
INSIDE THE PROJECT
This high-profile project consisted of the widening and reconstruction of 7.7 miles of IR-264 in Louisville, Kentucky. The contract required a very aggressive schedule, as Kokosing was only permitted 500 calendar days for construction with zero allowance for weather extensions.
Kokosing self-performed the majority of the work using a combination of skilled labor from our force or local tradespersons. Through extensive pre-planning and innovation, our skilled management force helped lead the team to successfully complete this fast-track project for the Owner in 497 calendar days.
