M AECOM 24 Ramona Boulevard Grade Separation El Monte, California Ramona Boulevard is a secondary highway striped for two lanes in each direction, Client with an at -grade crossing of Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) and Metro Link tracks Alameda Corridor East Construction between Cypress Avenue and Stewart Street. The AECOM project team provided Authority (ACE) the design and engineering services to grade -separate this crossing. 4900 Rivergrade Road, Ste. A 120 Irwindale, CA 91706 Contact Lou Cluster 626.962.9292 Year Completed 2007 Construction Cost $ 20 million Design Cost $2 million Team Members Pat Somerville Terence Pao, PE Mohan Char, PhD, PE Albert Pan, PE AECOM was the prime consultant and was responsible for coordinatingthe design with several involved stakeholders including Caltrans, the City of El Monte, UPRR, Metrolink, ACE, the Gas Company, Sprint, Southern California Edison, the Los Angeles County Flood Control District, and Pacific Bell. The scope of work included preparation of Plans, Specifications, and Estimates (PS&E) for the p roj ect. AECOM also provided full construction management services. The construction work consisted of a new railroad bridge to accommodate two tracks for UPRR and Metro Link crossing at Ramona Boulevard, depressing east -west Ramona Boulevard to provide for the grade separation. The project also included design of retaining walls, new depressed and grade -separated sidewalks, storm drain pump station and drainage systems, landscaping, and major utility relocations (such as a 102 -inch RCP, fiber optic lines, telephone trunk lines, and water and gas main lines). Orangethorpe Avenue Grade Separation Anaheim and Placentia, California The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) selected AECOM to provide Client Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) 550 South Main Street Orange, CA 92868 Contact Joe Tootson 741.560.5406 Year Completed Ongoing Construction Cost $60 million Design Cost $5.4 million Team Members Pat Somerville, PE James Enriquez, PE Carmen Gendusa, PE, TE Alan Bosch, PE J. T. Barr, RLA Dan Davis, PE preliminary and final design services for a new railroad grade separation to replace the existing Orangethorpe Avenue/Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railroad at -grade crossing. The project calls for the design of an overcrossing of Qrangethorpe Avenue with the BNSF tracks, with Orangethorpe Avenue being widened to a six -lane facility that includes a raised median island, six-foot wide sidewalks, and Class II bike lanes. Since Orangethorpe Avenue crosses the BNSF Railroad at an approximate 70 -degree angle, AECOM developed an innovative approach using precast girders oriented perpendicular to the railroad tracks. This configuration lowers the roadway profile providing significant cost savings while maximizingthe available right-of-way for BNSF. A temporary two-lane detour road is to be constructed, enabling Orangethorpe Avenue to remain open during construction. Significant coordination efforts are provided due to the numerous utilities to be relocated, including a 36 -inch high pressure gas line, and overhead electrical facilities. Structural efforts also include two bridges crossing over flood control channels, and extensive MSE watts for the elevated roadway. Additionally, AECOM is preparing a corridor -wide aesthetics guideline for OCTA for use in other grade separations.
