WSDOT Projects

Each spring the Washington State Department of Transportation selects a handful of highway construction projects from each of our region offices for a year-end evaluation of the project's construction phase. The 2005 Construction Highlights Report provides the results of this self-assessment of our on-time and on-budget performance. This is WSDOT’s fifth annual report.

These 25 projects, selected back in April 2005, provide a snapshot of the variety, complexity, and size of our Construction program.  Nine of the projects (37.5%) had five-star ratings in each of the four evaluation categories.  Our project evaluation standards focus on design, construction administration, schedule and cost, and rates each project in these categories.

This report is just a sampling of the many projects that were built in 2005.  There were 186 active construction projects ranging in cost from $68,000 to $615 million (construction contract amount for the Tacoma Narrows Bridge).  This represents approximately $1.884 billion in ongoing work.

Below are the construction projects that were completed, or nearly completed, during the 2005 construction season (one project was not awarded due to contractor's bids coming too high).
