Design-Build

UDOT is pursuing construction of the new interchange under a process known as Design-Build. While a traditional transportation project is designed fully before being turned over to a contractor for construction, the design-build method allows both processes to occur almost simultaneously, expediting project delivery considerably.

Under design-build, a design team works to finalize design of specific areas within a project to allow construction to begin. Design then proceeds in other areas, even as construction gets underway. The two processes then proceed in tandem, accelerating project completion.

A critical component of the design-build process' success is right-of-way acquisition. As design continues to be finalized in specific areas and specific property impacts become known, the project team's right-of-way staff will work with the property owners on a case-by-case basis on any necessary acquisition process.
