EHC services included 170,000 cubic yards of lake and road excavation, stabilized subgrade and finish grading. Upon project completion, the road was converted from a two-lane road to a four-lane road and serves as the main arterial in mid Cape Coral. An outside four-foot paved bike lane, 46-foot grass median separating eastbound and westbound lanes, stormwater ponds, and roadside swales were also included in the project. The goal of the expansion is to facilitate more businesses, investment, and overall growth in the area by providing better access to Cape Coral.

US 41 and CR 951 Intersection Improvements

Community Asphalt chose EHC to perform earthwork and infrastructure services for the US 41 and CR 951 intersection improvements in Naples. Services include excavation, embankment, demolition, stabilized subgrade and base for the approximately three-mile project. The well-traveled intersection is a primary access point for traffic in Collier County and is an important corridor in the Collier County Emergency Management Department’s evaluation network. Therefore, the project has required a tremendous amount of coordination between Collier County Department of Transportation, Florida Department of Transportation, vendors and of course traffic for the addition and widening of turn lanes, reconfiguring of the intersection and phased work. Accommodating future growth and improving safety is essential for the intersection project.
