  • Audit of the Springfield Interchange Project
    AUDIT OF THE SPRINGFIELD INTERCHANGE PROJECT Federal Highway Administration Report Number: IN-2003-003 Date Issued: November 22, 2002 Memorandum U.S. Department of Transportation Office of the Secretary of Transportation Office of Inspector General Subject: ACTION: Report on Audit of the Springfield Date: November 22, 2002 Interchange Project IN-2003-003 From: Alexis M. Stefani Reply to Attn. of: JA-30 Principal Assistant Inspector General for Auditing and Evaluation To: Federal Highway Administrator This report presents the results of our audit of the Virginia Department of Transportation’s (VDOT) Springfield Interchange project (Springfield project). The Springfield project, when completed, will improve traffic flow at the junction of Interstates (I)-95, 395, and 495 in Fairfax County, Virginia, which is one of the busiest and most congested interchanges in the country. As originally planned, the project would be constructed in eight phases and involve building or reconfiguring two major junctions along the I-95 corridor. We reviewed the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) oversight of the Springfield project. Our objectives were to determine (1) factors contributing to increased cost estimates and the reasonableness of the current cost estimate, (2) reasonableness of the current schedule, and (3) adequacy of project funding. In addition, we evaluated how deficiencies in VDOT’s project cost estimating process affected Virginia’s ability to implement its 3-year Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (3-year Transportation Plan).1 Exhibit A describes our objectives, scope, and methodology. This audit was done as part of a series of major project reviews. Congressman James P. Moran also requested a review.
