Tetra Tech INCA provided design for improvements to Kamber Road, between Richards Road and 137th Avenue SE. Improvements included complete design for sections of concrete sidewalk and bicycle lanes along the roadway; full width overlay with reconstruction in selected areas; design of a new bridge at East Creek; and waterline and sanitary sewer repair and replacement; and signal interconnect along the road.

The poor geotechnical conditions made relocation of utilities very difficult, potentially leading to settling of the roadway. INCA identified options that reduced the need to relocate utilities. This analysis resulted in a $500,000 reduction of overall project construction cost and shortened the construction schedule by two months.

Kamber Road was selected as APWA’s “Public Works Project of the Year” 2007.
