  • 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.

Goals • To enhanced public transportation corridors which will require further study to identify the feasibility of alternative modes and levels of service. • To provide a system of alternative transportation links between residential, educational and commercial activity centers oriented to the non-motorized user. Fairfax County, Virginia: FY 2022 – FY 2026 Advertised CIP - 223 Transportation Initiatives Transportation facilities and services in Fairfax County are primarily provided by the Virginia Program Department of Transportation (VDOT) which owns, constructs, maintains and operates nearly all of the roads in Fairfax County, and by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) Description which provides the majority of all public transit service in the region. In addition to the transportation planning done by these two agencies, the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (COG) is responsible for ensuring regional compatibility of all transportation plans, a prerequisite for the expenditure of federal funds for any transportation project. The Transportation Section of the Fairfax County's Comprehensive Plan includes the following Link to the established objectives: Comprehensive • Provide for both through and local movement of people and goods via a multi-modal transportation system that provides transportation choices, reduces single-occupancy-vehicle Plan (SOV) use and improves air quality. • Increase use of public transportation and non-motorized transportation. • Ensure that the roadway system provides adequate local access and capacity for through movements, consistent with financial, social, and environmental constraints and with the county's goal of reducing SOV use.
