National Infrastructure Simulation and Analysis Center Risk Development and Modeling Branch Homeland Infrastructure Threat and Risk Analysis Center Office of Infrastructure Protection In Collaboration with The National Incident Management Systems and Advanced Technologies Institute at The University of Louisiana at Lafayette Louisiana Highway 1/Port Fourchon Study July 15, 2011 i This page intentionally left blank. ii Executive Summary Port Fourchon is located at the southern tip of Lafourche Parish, Louisiana, along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. The port is the southernmost port in Louisiana and centrally located in a large area of the Gulf that is rich in oil and natural gas drilling fields. Shallow water operations are serviced out of many ports along the Gulf Coast, but servicing for deepwater operations is located at select ports due to the use of larger vessels that are required to support deepwater operations. Due to its central location, deep channels, favorable weather conditions, and size, the oil and gas industry has chosen to concentrate its infrastructure for deepwater oil and gas operations support at Port Fourchon. Roughly 270 large supply vessels traverse the channels of Port Fourchon each day. Normally, about 75 percent of these vessels are servicing drilling rigs. Even though there are many more production platforms that require servicing than there are operating drilling rigs, drilling operations require much more material than production requires. The supplies and materials sent to rigs and platforms from Port Fourchon are brought into the port by the 600 eighteen-wheel trucks that travel on Louisiana Highway 1 (LA-1) each day.

  • South Gloucestershire Council Public Consultation Cycling City Route
    South Gloucestershire Council Public Consultation Cycling City Route Number 7 – Ring Road Path Background In June 2008 South Gloucestershire Council, jointly with Bristol City Council, were chosen as Britain’s first Cycling City. Government funding totalling £11.4 million has been awarded to the area to transform cycling infrastructure and to pioneer innovative ways of making cycling a real transport option for more residents. This funding will be matched by Bristol and South Gloucestershire councils and their partners creating a total scheme value of £22.8 million. The aim of the Cycling City project is to double the number of cyclists in the Greater Bristol area. To do this we need to promote and encourage cycling through better infrastructure, training and promotion. The Cycling City project will implement safe, continuous, attractive, comfortable and coherent routes across the project area. This route has been designed with the help of the South Gloucestershire cycle forum. The forum is a group of regular cyclists who have worked with engineers to ensure the proposed route is suitable and to overcome current problems on the route. Route Cycling City Route 7 will run predominantly along the A4174 Ring Road off-road cycle path from the Dramway Roundabout (junction with B4465 Shortwood Hill), to the Bristol City Council boundary in the vicinity of Southmead Hospital (i.e. Kenmore Drive). Although the westernmost section of the route is located away from the Ring Road corridor, continuous direction signing as far as Southmead Hospital will be provided as part of the Cycling City route signing proposals. This route will provide a total length of approximately 10km of predominantly off-carriageway cycle facilities.

  • 2021 LIMITED ACCESS STATE NUMBERED HIGHWAYS As of December 31, 2020
    2021 LIMITED ACCESS STATE NUMBERED HIGHWAYS As of December 31, 2020 CONNECTICUT DEPARTMENT OF Transportation BUREAU OF POLICY AND PLANNING Office of Roadway Information Systems Roadway INVENTORY SECTION INTRODUCTION Each year, the Roadway Inventory Section within the Office of Roadway Information Systems produces this document entitled "Limited Access - State Numbered Highways," which lists all the limited access state highways in Connecticut. Limited access highways are defined as those that the Commissioner, with the advice and consent of the Governor and the Attorney General, designates as limited access highways to allow access only at highway intersections or designated points. This is provided by Section 13b-27 of the Connecticut General Statutes. This document is distributed within the Department of Transportation and the Division Office of the Federal Highway Administration for information and use. The primary purpose to produce this document is to provide a certified copy to the Office of the State Traffic Administration (OSTA). The OSTA utilizes this annual listing to comply with Section 14-298 of the Connecticut General Statutes. This statute, among other directives, requires the OSTA to publish annually a list of limited access highways. In compliance with this statute, each year the OSTA publishes the listing on the Department of Transportation’s website (http://www.ct.gov/dot/osta). The following is a complete listing of all state numbered limited access highways in Connecticut and includes copies of Connecticut General Statute Section 13b-27 (Limited Access Highways) and Section 14-298 (Office of the State Traffic Administration). It should be noted that only those highways having a State Route Number, State Road Number, Interstate Route Number or United States Route Number are listed.
