Corridor Project is approximately 25 percent complete and on track for completion in 2018 . As progress continues , GDOT and the Northwest Express Roadbuilders joint venture can continue to look ahead to what the future will hold .
“ We have a lot of different individual goals ,” says Oswandel , noting that success for Georgia on this project can also translate to success for Archer Western Contractors and Hubbard Construction Group further down the line . “ This is a pilot project for them as well , and a successful project like this would lead to better opportunities for both the state and for our two companies . Atlanta ’ s got a lot of challenges in their road systems and their commutes , and this could be one of many that may come down the pipe . I think this project so far has been very successful and has shown that it can be the innovative way of constructing work elsewhere in the city .”
The joint venture is also considering success of the projects in all its facets , examining the achievement of its many different goals and what true success means for this project . “ It all depends on how you define success ,” says Oswandel , who notes that strong training and workplace safety for his 450 staff and subcontractors is just as critical as every other piece of the puzzle . “ Profitability , safety and success for the state as well as our subcontractors and suppliers — everybody needs to have a degree of success in the project for it to be truly successful .”
