Title: The Use of Prestressed Concrete and Epoxies to Expedite Construction of Interstate Route 87
Abstract: The most expensive single highway construction contract, ever awarded by the New York State Department of Public Works, was held by the Slattery Construction Co. of Maspeth, New York. The contract provided for the construction of an 8.16 mile section of Interstate Route 87, from the Cross Westchester Expressway (Interstate Route 287) to a point approximately 2300 ft. north of a proposed interchange with Relocated Route 22 in Armonk, N.Y. The lowest of three bids on this project was $23,529,000. Among the many unique features of this project is its truly Interstate nature, see Fig. 1. Originating in Westchester County, New York, the road enters Fairfield County, Connecticut, shortly after it underpasses New York State Route 120; continues in Connecticut for approximately 1.4 miles at which point the northbound roadway spans the Byram River in Connecticut while the southbound roadway crosses the river in New York. From this point on, both roadways are in New York.
