As Project Engineer, she has experience with inspection, analysis and design of highway and pedestrian bridges, transportation structures and civil infrastructure. She is experienced working and coordinating with NYSTA, NYCDOT, NPS, NYCDEP, NYCEDC, NYCT, PANYJY throughout the design and construction phases of projects. She also has experience with multiple methods of project delivery, including design-build. HDR Project Experience Tappan Zee Constructors / New York State Thruway Authority, The New NY Bridge (Tappan Zee Hudson River Crossing), Westchester-Rockland County, NY. Miscellaneous Structures Discipline Design Lead. The New NY Bridge will replace the existing Tappan Zee Bridge crossing which handles more than 138,000 vehicles every day far more than its design capacity. The new twin bridgesare over 3 miles long and will cross the Hudson River at one of its widest points to connect Rockland and Westchester counties. Key features of the new bridge include twin iconic cable-stayed main spans with 1,200-foot center spans.each bridge carriesfour general traffic lanes plus shoulders and extra-wide emergency lanes. The bridge will have new temporary tolling facilities with AETC (All Electronic Toll Collection) and a shared-use path (dedicated bicycle and pedestrian) on the northern bridge with scenic overlooks. The project implements Intelligent Traffic Systems (ITS) and Advance Traffic Management Systems (ATMS) to improve the flow of vehicle traffic. The bridge is designed for a 100-year service life and will be masstransit-ready for bus rapid transit without strengthening, or for commuter or light rail on a separate structure constructed between the two highway bridges.the project team will follow strict environmental performance commitments to protect the Hudson River estuary. The New York State Thruway Authority selected design-build as the delivery method for this project to meet an aggressive schedule. HDR is the lead designer, and a subcontractor for Tappan Zee Constructors LLC, a consortium of Fluor Enterprises, American Bridge Company, Granite Construction Northeast, and Traylor Bros. Detailed design includes deep foundations, cablestayed main span and girder/sub-stringer approach span structures, pre-cast substructure and superstructure components and highway design including alignments, AETC tolling, ITS, utilities and facility design. HDR is also leading significant Environmental Compliance activities including underwater noise, water quality and airborne air/noise monitoring. Ms. Freedman s role on the project as the Miscellaneous Structures Design Discipline Lead was to manage the design and construction support of numerous structures including over 20 overhead sign structures on grade and on the bridge; 6,000 linear feet of retaining walls including soldier pile and lagging, MSE, T-walls, and CIP concrete retaining walls; over 5,000 linear feet of concrete and acrylitenoise barrier walls mounted on retaining walls, on (OPTIONAL) PAGE IDENTIFIER 1

2 grade and on the bridge; the SUP prestressed concrete box girder pedestrian bridge; underbridge catwalk and access structures; roadway barriers; movable barrier gates;the AETC Tolling gantries; the 1,300 plus linear foot in-water permanent maintenance platform, and temporary maintenance dock; as well as the various attachments and support structures associated with ITS, utilities, roadway and aesthetic lighting and security related installations. These tasks required extensive interdisciplinary coordination, coordination with the contractor, coordination with the NYSTA, and management of more than 7 subconsultants and internal design teams. (2013-Present, $3.14 billion) Judlau Contracting, Inc./NYCDOT, Design Build and Emergency Contracts Section, Rehabilitation of the Northbound and Southbound Bruckner Expressway Bridges Over CSX and Amtrak Railroads, Bronx, NY. Inspector/Design Engineer. The Bruckner Expressway, Interstate Route I-278, is a major connecting link in the Bronx from the Robert F. Kennedy (Triborough) Bridge/Major Deegan Expressway (I-87) to the New England Thruway (I-95). An oil tanker truck fire on the Northbound Bruckner Expressway Bridge caused a downward deflection of portions of the bridge, resulting in decreased vertical clearances over the Amtrak and CSX tracks underneath the bridge. The New York City Department of Transportation (NYCDOT) selected the design-build project delivery method to meet the accelerated construction schedule. The project involved design, construction, and construction support services for the rehabilitation of the Northbound and Southbound Bruckner Expressway bridges. The Northbound bridge involves the replacement of the multi-girder steel superstructure, bearings, bridge seat, and backwall. The Southbound bridge involved the replacement of the existing deck, bearings, and backwall, as well as steel repairs to the existing truss superstructure, lead paint abatement, and bridge painting. Both bridges also involved approach slab and approach roadway replacement including replacement of barriers and railing, street lighting, frames and grates of drainage structures, and FDNY fire communications facilities. HDR performed the engineering design for the bridges, which included analyzing the existing and proposed structures to account for the contractor s construction means and methods. Prefabricated bridge components, including precast concrete deck slabs, bridge seats, and backwalls, were utilized to eliminate concrete cure times and allow for bridge deck replacement within the night time lane closure durations allowed for by the contract. The design was coordinated with and approved by NYCDOT Design Build, NYCDOT Quality Assurance, 2 (OPTIONAL) PAGE IDENTIFIER

3 NYCDOT OCMC, public and private utilities, Amtrak, and CSX. The construction support services (CSS) included review of shop drawings, requests for information, contractor requests for substitution, and evaluation of and response to field conditions. The CSS was performed in coordination with NYCDOT, the Resident Engineering and Inspection consultant, the contractor, and public and private stakeholders including Amtrak and CSX.The design/build contract for the design, construction and construction support services of the rehabilitation of the Bruckner expressway bridges required the inspection of the existing structure and the preparation of contract plans for the new superstructure and substructure elements. Ms. Freedman, as a structural E.I.T., was a member of the inspection team, and performed the design of the pre-cast concrete deck panels and approach slabs, using finite element analysis programs involving STAAD and LARSA. She aided in the design and detailing of the steel intermediate and end diaphragms, the detailing of the Northbound abutments, including the fixed and expansion joints, the construction staging of the demolition and replacement of the bridge seats and bearings, as well as the detailing of the parapet. She also worked extensively with the preparation of contract drawings for compliance with NYCDOT requirements. Additionally, Elana was involved with the shop drawing review and construction support services. ( , $63M) National Park Service, Stabilization of the Ellis Island Seawall, Statue of Liberty National Monument, NJ. Project Engineer. This ongoing project is a rehabilitation of the historic seawall surrounding Ellis Island and the installation of a pedestrian bridge. The rehabilitation was geared to the structural stabilization and historic preservation of 4 different types of concrete seawalls and required ample coordination between different disciplines including structural, civil and marine engineering and connecting 2 islands with a pedestrian and maintenance vehicle bridge. This ARRA funded project has a limited timeline and strict funding regulations. Ms. Freedman has been involved with this ongoing project during the proposal process, the preliminary schematic design phase and final design phase. During schematic design, Ms. Freedman was a leader of the inspection team and oversaw field operations and coordination between the client and various subcontractors.
