Omnipro Services, LLC
Toll Facility Construction
Prior to joining Omnipro Services, the associates of Omnipro Services were part of the Ohio Turnpike Third Lane Widening Program Construction Management Team and provided full spectrum construction services. While this experience was obtained by our associates as employees of other organization(s), they have brought their acquired personal skill sets obtained on these projects to Omnipro Services. This program included a multitude of major/complex construction projects over the first 12 years of the program. These projects include roadway widening, bridge replacements, new interchanges, utilities, drainage, and new construction. Some examples of these projects include:
Norfolk Southern Railroad Bridge- The project consisted of constructing a new bridge structure in two phases and relocating three sets of existing tracks to the new alignment over the Ohio Turnpike. The existing bridge and tracks were removed as part of the project. The project was performed in two phases due to limited construction and lay-down areas for equipment, and existing business and vehicular traffic in the surrounding areas. A key component in the construction of a new railroad bridge is implementing a plan to avoid delays to Norfolk and Southern Railroad. The project was delivered without adversely impacting the Railroad.
CSX Rail Road Bridge- The project is located at mile post 157.2 in Berea, Ohio just west of the Ohio Turnpike Commission’s Office. The project included the construction of a new four span structure, adjacent to the existing structure, over the Ohio Turnpike. Once the new structure was completed and most of the new track was placed, a coordinated track outage was implemented, so that the RR could complete the tie-in of the old tracks to the new tracks. Following ballast placement and track tie in, RR traffic was allowed to resume on the new alignment. The superstructure included fracture critical steel girders, steel tub deck with bituminous mastic and concrete under standard RR ballast. The biggest project challenge included a delay by the RR in delivering rail to the project - this required a substantial amount of winter work in order to recover several months of lost time and avoid impacts to adjacent roadway construction sections. Construction work was performed in close proximity to the existing active RR tracks which are some of the busiest rail lines in the area.
Cuyahoga Valley Viaduct- Our associates were part of the Program Management Team that provided construction support & site services to the Turnpike Commission for this $52 million bridge replacement project. The project consisted of the demolition of the existing two lane deck truss structures and the new construction of three lane concrete beam structures. The new structures were comprised of two different concrete beams types. The first type was a modified Florida Bulb T-Beam, which ranged in lengths up to 144 feet and was used for 13 of the newly constructed spans. The remaining five spans of the structure required greater span lengths. To achieve this, segmental continuous pre-stressed & post tensioned concrete girders were constructed. These continuous sections required splices and non-linear post tensioning. Traffic was maintained by constructing one new structure prior to the demolition of one of the old structures. This phasing was then used for the second set of structures.
Vermilion Valley Bridge- The project consisted of the total reconstruction of the Turnpike Structures over the Vermilion River, as well as the widening of 3 pairs of dual structures and the associated 6 miles of third lane roadway widening, median shoulder construction and median barrier construction. The Vermilion River Bridge consists of three spans, rising up to 60 feet over the river, and has a length of 440 feet. This project was phased to significantly reduce traffic impacts, and was completed in 25 months, at a value of $9.8 Million.
Reconstruction of Maumee River Bridges- This project consisted of reconstructing the Ohio Turnpike over the Maumee River structures, in conjunction with the Ohio Turnpike Commission’s Third Lane Widening Program. These dual structures consist of 11 spans of haunched girders traversing over 1400 feet, with pier heights of up to 55 feet. The construction included under water pier patching, and under water caisson construction. Construction costs were over $19.8 million, and the contract was completed in three years.
Huron River Bridge- This contract consisted of five miles of mainline roadway, including the addition of a new third lane, median shoulder and barrier wall. The project also included the widening of three mainline structures, including the Ohio Turnpike over the Huron River. This major mainline structure consisted of nine spans crossing the Huron River at a height of up to 56 feet. The length of the structure is over 1100 feet. The total value of this contract was over $24.5 million, and was completed in less than two years.
Reconstruction of the Sandusky River Bridge- The Ohio Turnpike over the Sandusky River Bridge project consisted of the total reconstruction of a nine span, 970 foot long bridge crossing the Sandusky River with pier heights of up to 60 feet. The project also included 1.5 miles of third lane widening, and the widening of dual 3-span structures over S.R. 53. The project, which exceeded $20.8 million in construction costs, was completed in three years.
Ohio Turnpike’s 3rd Lane Program- Our associates were part of the Program Management Team that provided full service program management that included construction support & site construction services for the Ohio Turnpike Commission’s $700 million Third Lane Widening program. The program included the construction of a third lane for 160-miles of the Turnpike, from Toledo to Youngstown. Construction began in 1996 and entails the widening of 100 mainline bridges and reconstruction of 50 overhead bridges. In total, there were 50 separate projects covering the length of the Program. Responsibilities of the Program Management team included alternate concepts analysis, constructability reviews, project scheduling, estimating, cost monitoring, document control, contract packaging, construction inspection, claims avoidance, safety monitoring, and serving as the OTC’s liaison between the design consultants, construction contractors, other government agencies, and the public.

New Interchange at Ohio Turnpike/I-77 - Our associates were part of the Program Management Team that provided construction support services & site services to the Ohio Turnpike for this project and served as a liaison between the Ohio Turnpike and ODOT District 4. This $30 million project included the new construction of a highway interchange linking I-77 with I-80 in Richfield Ohio. The scope of work included lane miles of new concrete pavement for the ramps, access roads, toll facility areas and connectors as well as large engineered fills, drainage, bridge/roadway widening and new bridge construction.
