WRA’s services included providing the Project Inspector and some assisting inspectors on the project responsible for inspection to ensure compliance with the VDOT plans and specifications, materials testing and reporting, documentation, erosion control and maintenance of traffic reviews, and coordinating with VDOT, the contractor, property owners and businesses, and the traveling public.
