Inter-county Connector Contract B
Kiewit was the lead for the joint venture that constructed the Inter-county Connector Contract B (ICC-B) project. ICC-B consists of approximately seven miles new six-lane highway constructed through some of the most environmentally sensitive and heavily populated areas of southern Maryland. Construction began in January of 2009 and was open to traffic in November of 2011. Key elements of the project included a diamond interchange at MD 182, a single point urban interchange (SPUI) at MD 650, and 10 new bridges. Additional project features include intelligent transportation systems (ITS), electronic toll collection (ETC), traffic signals, signing and pavement marking, more than 80 acres of reforestation, 12,938 LF of hiker and biker trails, and the relocation of six side roads.

The Inter-county Connector Contract B (ICC-B) project is the largest design-build project ever undertaken by the State of Maryland, and required construction of more than seven miles of new six-lane divided highway within a right of way that included some of the most environmentally sensitive and heavily populated areas in the Baltimore/Washington corridor. The team cleared more than 325 acres, constructed 8 large stormwater management ponds and two large underground stormwater containment structures, moved more than 2.4 million CY of earth, constructed more than 54,000 LF of drainage systems, placed more than 500,000 TN of new asphalt pavement, built more than 65,000 SF of MSE retaining walls, all while receiving an “A” (Excellent) rating from the Maryland Department of the Environment.

This project was named by Engineering News Record as “Northeast Region Best Project of 2011” and won the ARTBA “2012 GLOBE Award for Major Highway, Project Greater than $100 Million.”
