  • Introduction
    I-95 Access Study New Access to I-95 between Route 3 and the Rappahannock River 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background The George Washington Regional Commission (GWRC) and the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) are evaluating the possibility of constructing a new access point or interchange with I-95 in the City of Fredericksburg between the Rappahannock River and VA 3 (Route 3). A new toll parkway would intersect with I-95 near the existing rest area and proceed west and tie into Route 3 near Gordon Road (Route 627). Located midway between Washington, D.C. and Richmond, the George Washington Region of Virginia is the scene of intensive growth extending back several decades, as it has become a bedroom community to Washington, D.C. and, to a lesser extent Richmond. Since 1960, the regional population has more than quintupled, from 60,000 residents to nearly 325,000 residents. This hyper growth has manifested itself in rapid suburbanization and has unduly strained the surface transportation system of the Region, taxing the capacity of roadway arterials and collectors alike. None of these roadways has been impacted as much as I-95, a national lifeline and a vital Regional arterial. Interstate 95 traverses the George Washington Region for about forty-seven miles, through the Counties of Stafford, Spotsylvania and Caroline, as well as the City of Fredericksburg. At various places along its course through the Region, I-95 fails from too much traffic and too little capacity. This failure adversely affects the nation as a whole, but it directly threatens the economic well-being and quality of life of residents in the Region.

  • Johnson County Whiteland Road Reconstruction
    TOWN OF BARGERSVILLE NEWSLETTER VOLUME 9 AUGUST 2020 HAWK Signal at Harriman Avenue and Old Plank Road Highlights of HAWK Signal: • Traffic is only stopped as needed • Flashes red when traffic is required to stop and yield to pedestrians • Activated through push buttons, that allow crossing one leg at a time On Old Plank Looking West HAWK Signal Overview As part of the pedestrian improvements project along Old Plank Road the Town has installed a HAWK signal at the intersection of Old Plank Road/Harriman Avenue/Short Street. HAWK is an acronym and stands for High-Intensity Activated Crosswalk, this signal is solely for pedestrians to be able to cross busy intersections safely. This is not a typical traffic signal, traffic flows as normal until one of the push buttons at the intersection is activated which then stops traffic as needed, otherwise the signal stays dark. Once one of the push buttons is activated the timing allows for pedestrians to cross one leg of the intersection at a time, then the push buttons must be reactivated to continue crossing the other legs. Please see the next page for a overview of the intersection.

  • Road to the Future Introduction Man's Travel Began Millennia Ago with The
    Road to the Future Introduction Man’s travel began millennia ago with the first step of the first man in his desire to satisfy a basic need for food shelter, clothing or social interaction. From the fist step there evolved a system of transportation that still satisfies these basic needs. In order to understand our present need for transportation and predict the future needs it is informative to take a trip into the past to explore old transportation systems and how they have evolved in the past 6000 yrs. Of particular interests is how engineering and road building technology has developed and changed. The record for many of these developments is sketchy and in many cases requires extrapolation from observations of travelers that have recorded their experiences and are included them in the written record. The intention is to approach the subject in a chronological manner discussing each period to the extent possible from available records Some of the periods discussed are sparse in information related to the technology of roads and as a consequence will suffer in the length of the discussion. In all cases the intention is to give some feel for the engineering that was involved and the changes that have occurred. Obviously the modern era has much greater resources in terms of reference and documentation and these areas of transportation will not be extensively treated.. Land transportation and highways are the particular areas of interest. The many photos that are incorporated with the discussion help to illustrate the particular road being discussed. Citations in the various sections will allow the interested reader to pursue the subject in greater detail.

    Plank Road/Trail Assessment and Alternatives Report District: Metro County: Hennepin City: Minneapolis Date of Assessment: 01/08/2016 Prepared for: Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Board Prepared By: Carl B. Osberg, PE WSB & Associates, Inc. 701 Xenia Avenue South Suite 300 Minneapolis, MN 55416 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Background The plank road and trails (58-foot wide and 600-ft long) were completed in 2003 at a cost of over $1 million. In 2010, the 24 foot wide roadbed portion of the plank road in West River Parkway was removed and replaced with concrete at a cost of approximately $470,000. According to City of Minneapolis data, the average daily traffic on the road is approximately 6,000 cars with 550 pedestrians and 1,000 bicyclists per day on the north trail. Although only eleven years old, many of the planks in the trail have warped and rotted and lag bolts have loosened and popped out. Concerns about the trail are the uneven surface, trip hazards, and maintenance demands. The intent of this report is to examine the existing condition of the plank trail and propose and evaluate alternatives for their maintenance, repair and replacement. Plank Trail Issues Common Issues on the Trails include: 1) Timber planks a. cupping and warping - tripping hazards b. gaps and joints - tripping hazards c. slippery surface especially when wet 2) Anchorage systems and hardware a. difficult to remove planks due to countersunk holes b. corrosion of bolts and non-standard sizes c. loss of connections – stripping of holes or loss of threads in bolts 3) Drainage system a.
