General Excavation Inc. of Warrenton was awarded a $3,312,442.35 contract to improve the acceleration lanes on Interstate 81 at exit 307 at Route 277 in Stephens City , exit 315 at Route 7 in Winchester and the Virginia Welcome Center and Safety Rest Area in Clear Brook in Frederick County . The construction will provide a 12-foot paved ramp with 12-foot paved shoulders and a five-foot graded shoulder. The project also includes intersection improvements at Route 522, which is 0.27 miles north of Route 679 near Winchester . A left-turn lane will be built, drainage improved and guardrail will be installed. The project will improve safety in these locations by providing additional merge areas for travelers entering I-81 and providing a dedicated turn lane for left and U-turn traffic on the divided portion of Route 522, just north of Winchester . The project has a fixed completion date of Nov. 1, 2008.



General Excavation Inc. was awarded a $7,674.952.55 contract to construct the Jeremy’s Run bridge on Route 340 in Page County . This bridge will be a replacement for the current structure which is deteriorating. The new 446-foot bridge will be built next to the current Jeremy’s Run bridge. The project including the bridge and its approaches will be .65 mile long. Lanes will be 12-feet wide with four-foot paved shoulders and a 10-foot graded shoulder. A right-turn and a left-turn lane will be constructed for traffic using Route 662 ( Rileyville Road ) located south of the bridge. The left-turn lane will be a center lane on the bridge. The project will be constructed to meet items in a memorandum of agreement with VDOT, the Federal Highway Administration, Page County government and the Scenic 340 Project concerning the protection and historical integrity of the area. The project has a fixed completion date of Nov. 12, 2009.
