P3s, Design-Build Could Be Key to Los Angeles Projects

摘要

The widening of 1-405 marks one of the few major design-build projects in Los Angeles to date. But thanks to an ambitious initiative to build 12 major transit projects by 2019, rattier than over three decades, alternative project delivery methods are expected to be deployed on some of the county's biggest rail and highway projects. One of the highway projects that might benefit is the decades-old Interstate 1-710 completion. "This project has the most promising P3 potential," said Doug Failing, executive director of highway programs for the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transportation Authority, or LA Metro. His remarks came during a May conference of the International Chinese Transportation Professionals Association.
