State Route 91 Corridor Improvement Project,
Riverside County, California
As a senior transportation engineer, Mr. Girod’s project
responsibilities included QA/QC, GAD design as well as creating
the documents for design checklist and design exceptions for
Mandatory and Advisory Standards. Also assisted in preparing
project plans, specifications, and estimates for the design build
project. This project will increase the capacity of the severely
congested SR-91 corridor by extending the existing Orange County
Transportation Authority ("OCTA") SR-91 Express Lanes
approximately 7.5 miles east into Riverside County, to Interstate
15. The Project also includes improvements from the I-15/SR-91
interchange to McKinley Street and direct connectors to the tolled
express lanes from SR-91 south on 1-15 to Ontario Avenue.
Devore Interchange Reconstruction, San
Bernardino County, California
The $324MM project currently in construction extends along I-15
approximately 0.8 miles south of the Glen Helen Parkway
undercrossing to 1.4 miles north of the Kenwood Avenue
undercrossing, and along I-215 approximately 1.2 miles south of
the Devore Road overcrossing to the I-15 junction. This project
reduces existing operational deficiencies at the interchange by
establishing route continuity, reduces traffic congestion, reduces
freeway traffic diversions to local streets and improves safety by
reducing the number of non-standard design features, eliminates
the existing lane reductions on I-15, and improves local
circulation.
Mr. Girod, as a senior transportation engineer, was responsible to
provide QA/QC for the Geometric Approval Drawings. Responsible
for the Fact Sheets for the Mandatory and Advisory design
Standards during preliminary engineering as well as during the
design-build contract.
I-215 Widening from Scott Road to Nuevo Road,
Riverside County, California
Construction of this project began early 2013 to widen 12.5 miles
of Interstate 215 between Scott Road in Menifee and Nuevo Road
in Perris. One lane will be added in each direction to this section
of I-215. Once completed, there will be three continuous
northbound lanes and three continuous southbound lanes on I-
215 between I-15 and State Route 60.
Mr. Girod’s project responsibilities included design and oversight
on portions of the mainline roadway and proposed sound walls,
as well as QA/QC for the PS&E submittal.
Lenwood Road Grade Separation, Barstow,
California
The City of Barstow and County of San Bernardino is proposing to
grade separate the existing Lenwood Road over the BNSF railroad
tracks. This project is in response to proposed commercial and
industrial development in the area. Currently, Lenwood Road has
one lane of traffic in each direction; the proposed project will add
an additional lane in each direction. The profile will be elevated
up to 40 feet and raise the intersection of Lenwood Road and
Main Street approximately 15 feet. The project reduces traffic
congestion at the crossing, improves emergency response times,
decreases vehicle emissions and commute times, removes train
bells and horns at the intersection, and enhances safety for
motorists and pedestrians.
Mr. Girod was responsible for the Roadway design and plans as
well as coordination between other design teams such as
retaining walls, drainage, and bridge teams.
Clay Street Grade Separation, Riverside,
California
The Riverside County Transportation Department is proposing a
grade separation includes reconstruction of Clay Street to pass
under the existing UPRR railway, construction of a railroad bridge
(60’ wide, 105’ long, two span) for the existing UPRR railway, and
lowering of grade elevation at General Drive and at Linares
Avenue that will tie into the new lowered Clay Street grade.
Mr. Girod was responsible for the Roadway design and plans as
well as coordination between other design teams such as
retaining walls, drainage, and bridge teams. His expertise was
instrumental in troubleshooting design discrepancies between
design teams, thus preventing future costly change orders.
Arrow Route at I-15 Freeway Interchange,
Rancho Cucamonga, California
Project Engineer responsible for design for the ultimate
improvement of the proposed Arrow Route at the I-15 Freeway
On/Off Ramps. Because of the close proximity (3/4 miles) of the I-
15 Foothill Blvd IC, modifications to that existing interchange are
required to minimize a traffic weaving problem on the freeway. In
addition, because of the close proximity of the Day Canyon
Channel, the Metrolink tracks, and other design factors, several
bridges or bridge widenings may be required to complete the
project. The contract included preparation of geometric maps,

advance planning studies review, re-evaluating alternatives,
define environment and preliminary right-of-way requirements,
perform preliminary drainage and structure studies, and prepare
the preliminary schedules and cost estimates necessary to
produce the PR.
I-215/SR-60 East Junction EW HOV Connectors,
Riverside, California
As a project engineer, Mr. Girod was responsible for providing
GAD and final PS&E design of direct HOV connectors between the
west leg of the I-215/SR- 60 easterly junction and the east leg (SR-
60) HOV lanes. Improvements include widening roadway,
widening and replacing bridge Overheads, realigning frontage
roads, realigning ramps, re-profiling connector ramps, and
associated work. The plans prepared include roadway, structures,
drainage, electrical, Trafflc Design, Utility, Traffic
Management/Stating/Trafflc Handling, erosion control,
construction stormwater plans. Engineers estimate, quantities
and specification preparation were included.
I-10 & Riverside Avenue Interchange, Rialto,
California
This project completed in 2012, is an interchange reconstruction
project that widened the Riverside Avenue Overcrossing over
Interstate 10 (I-10) in Rialto from 5 to 9 lanes, providing additional
left turn capacity for vehicles accessing I-10. The project also
widened all four ramps, constructed auxiliary lanes and installed
ramp metering at the entrance ramps to manage the traffic flow
onto I-10. This $25 million project was completed on time and
within budget. The project was unique as the 5-lane structure
over I-10 was completely demolished and reconstructed in a
seven month period. Contractor incentives were included with
this project to achieve restoring traffic flow on Riverside Avenue
in seven months. Riverside Avenue is a major arterial between
State Route 60 in Riverside and Interstate 15 in Fontana and the
corridor is adjacent to multiple industrial and logistical facilities
that generate heavy truck traffic.
Mr. Girod was extensively involved in the development and
preparation of the Geometric Approval Drawings for the
interchange improvement. During PS&E, some of his other tasks
included development and design of the retaining walls, with
highly restrictive working areas, to accommodate the Ramp
widenings, as well as contour grading.
SR-210 Segment 3, Rancho Cucamonga,
California
As Highway Engineer, Mr. Girod was responsible for the complete
design and preparation of the project's PS&E for approval by
SANBAG, Caltrans, and the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Designed
two soil nail walls for the exit and entrance ramps at Archibald
Avenue. The project constructs the early grading, sound walls,
retaining walls, and storm drains at Jasper Avenue and at 19th
Street.

Monte Vista Avenue Grade Separation,
Montclair, California
The City of Montclair and the San Bernardino Associated
Governments (SANBAG), in coordination with the California
Department of Transportation (Caltrans), is proposing to grade
separate the existing Monte Vista Avenue/Union Pacific Railroad
(UPRR) at-grade railroad crossing. The proposed grade separation
would elevate Monte Vista Avenue over the railroads tracks and
State Street. The purpose of the proposed project is to improve
safety, as it will remove the existing at-grade conflict between
vehicular traffic and rail traffic. In addition, the proposed project
would reduce the congestion and inconvenience caused by the
existing at-grade facility.
As a project engineer, Mr. Girod was responsible for the Roadway
design and plans. The proposed project will construct an overhead
grade separation at the intersection of Monte Vista Avenue and
the Union Pacific Railroad crossing.
