US 522 Berkeley Springs Bypass – Morgan County, WV Project
AMT is providing project inspection; quality assurance; documentation services; CPM schedule and shop drawing review; and other related duties associated with the construction of the US 522 Berkeley Springs Bypass in Morgan County. A majority of the construction activity for this $62 million project will occur to the east of Berkeley Springs on a new alignment with the major components of the project including bridge construction, earthwork, soil and erosion control, materials quality assurance, maintenance of traffic, and environmental compliance. The project extends from Winchester Grade Road (CR 13) to Sandmine Road (CR 38/1), for a distance of approximately four miles. The Berkeley Springs Bypass will be a 65 mile an hour, four-lane controlled access expressway with a grassed median. Interchanges with WV 9 and CR 9/9 will be constructed near the midpoint of the project with additional at-grade intersections located along the length of the project. The WV 9 interchange will be the primary access point to downtown Berkeley Springs. The Berkeley Springs Bypass project is part of an overall US 522 project for WV that has been in development for nearly 30 years and consists of the potential for a new four-lane roadway from Virginia to Maryland.
