  • US 41 Interstate Conversion Study, Executive Summary
    Executive Summary Description of the Proposed Action The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT), in consultation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), is studying alternatives to convert United States Highway 41 (US 41) from a non-Interstate freeway on the National Highway System (NHS) to an Interstate Highway between the Zoo Interchange on Interstate 94 (I-94/I-894) in Milwaukee and the US 41/I-43 interchange in Green Bay. The overall study corridor extends through Kenosha, Racine, Milwaukee, Waukesha, Washington, Dodge, Fond du Lac, Winnebago, Outagamie, and Brown counties. See project location map on previous page. As a result, WisDOT and FHWA have limited the proposed action in this environmental document to the following: x Consider the broad costs and benefits of Interstate conversion. x Evaluate the impacts of signing US 41 between Milwaukee and Green Bay with an Interstate route number and changing the designation of other segments of the study corridor. x Determine the construction impacts of installing Interstate signing and other minor improvements along the study corridor. Based on the results of the evaluation, WisDOT will determine whether to convert US 41 to an Interstate Highway. Purpose of and Need for the Project The purpose of the proposed action is to enhance and accelerate economic development by converting the US 41 corridor to an Interstate Highway and signing it thus. The need for the proposed action is based in part on economics and in part on meeting the intent of the previous federal surface transportation law which identified the US 41 corridor a high priority corridor on the NHS and designated it a future Interstate route.

  • Automation in Highway Construction Part I: Implementation Challenges at State Transportation Departments and Success Stories
    Automation in Highway Construction Part I: Implementation Challenges at State Transportation Departments and Success Stories PUBLICATION NO. FHWA-HRT-16-030 OCTOBER 2018 Research, Development, and Technology Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center 6300 Georgetown Pike McLean, VA 22101-2296 FOREWORD The Federal Highway Administration conducted research to document gaps for implementing automation in highway construction and to develop guidance for State transportation departments to assist them in implementing and using automation to improve project delivery. There are two volumes of the final report. Part I (this volume) presents a description of the key automation technology areas and the associated benefits, challenges, and solutions. Part II presents an overview of enabling technologies and policies for automation in highway construction as well as implementation strategies, design procedures, and practical guidelines to properly generate three-dimensional (3D) models for uses in construction and other phases of highway project delivery. This volume provides State transportation departments a focus on five key technology areas, taking into consideration that, to be able to fully implement automation during the construction phase of a highway project, technologies are implemented prior to construction during the planning, surveying, and design phases. The key technology areas are remote sensing, underground utilities locating technologies, 3D design, machine control and automation, and field technology and inspection. This volume documents success stories and best practices for automation in highway construction; best uses for individual technologies, including the types of costs and resources required by the industry and agencies for implementing these technologies; and their associated return on investment. Finally, it documents challenges of automation technology in the areas of surveying, utilities, real-time verification, and data management.

  • Anatomy of Milwaukee County: a Traffic Safety Summary
    ANATOMY OF MILWAUKEE COUNTY: A TRAFFIC SAFETY SUMMARY There were 307 fatal crashes in Milwaukee County from 2012 to 2016. 1 THE PLACE Section Summary Milwaukee County is the center of a metropolitan area that has a population of over 1.55 million persons. The principal routes are the Interstate highways, STH 36 south of I-41/43/894, and STH 145 north of I-43. Milwaukee County is the top county in the state for VMT (vehicle-miles traveled), the number of registered vehicles, urban population, percentage of the population that is urban, and percentage of the county’s area that is urban. Milwaukee County has the lowest numbers in the state for VMT per capita, miles of roadway per capita and per VMT, miles of state highways per capita and per VMT, miles of county highways per capita, and local roads per capita. It is among the top ten counties in the state for miles of roads, miles of state roads, miles of local roads, and urban area. It is among the bottom ten counties in the state for miles of county highways and registered vehicles per capita. Urbanization Milwaukee County is the center of the Milwaukee-Waukesha-West Allis metropolitan area, which is adjacent to the neighboring Racine metropolitan area. 99.81% of the population of the county lives in urban areas, and 92.90% of the land area of the county is urban.1 The eastern boundary of the county is the eastern boundary of the state, which is in the center of Lake Michigan. Road Network Interstate 94 is designated as an east-west highway, carrying traffic west to and from Minneapolis-St.

  • Freeway Work Zone Lane Capacity
    Report Title Report Date: 2009 Freeway Work Zone Lane Capacity Principle Investigator Vendor Name and Address Name Drakopoulos, Alex «Vendor» Affiliation Marquette University Address 263 Haggerty Hall P.O. Box 1881 Milwaukee, WS 53201-1881 Phone (414) 288-5430 Fax (414) 288-7521 Email [email protected] Author(s) and Affiliation(s) Thomas Notbohm, P.E., Wisconsin Department of Transportation Alex Drakopoulos, Marquette University Amjad Dehman, Marquette University Supplemental Funding Agency Name and Address (if applicable) Supplemental Notes Abstract The focus of this report is a capacity analysis of two long-term urban freeway Work Zones. Work Zone #1 tapered four mainline lanes to two, using two separate tapers; Work Zone #2 tapered two mainline lanes to one. Work Zone throughput was analyzed throughout the day over multiple days and traffic operations conditions were analyzed up to a distance of five miles upstream of the Work Zone entrance. Historical data from pavement-embedded detectors were used to analyze traffic conditions. The database consisted of five-minute volume, speed and occupancy data collected from 78 detectors for a total of 50 days. Congestion during each analyzed Work Zone existed for more than fourteen hours each day; Work Zone impacts adversely affected freeway operations over distances of 3.7 to 4.2 miles. Speed and occupancy conditions further upstream were, however, not affected, or even improved due to significant trip diversion. Work Zone capacity was defined based on the maximum traffic flows observed over a one-hour period; throughput values were also compiled over longer periods of time when traffic was within 90% of the maximum observed one-hour flows, as well as over the multi-hour mid-day period.

A southeast Wisconsin freeway megaproject is defined as an improvement project with an estimated cost exceeding $609.5 million in 2018 dollars. Southeast Wisconsin freeways are statutorily defined as being located in Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Walworth, Washington, or Waukesha counties. Any rehabilitation or capacity expansion project on those freeways with a cost below that threshold is the responsibility of the state highway rehabilitation or major highway development programs, as applicable. Prior to the start of construction, southeast Wisconsin freeway megaprojects must be enumerated in the statutes. Presently, the I-94 North- South freeway and the Zoo Interchange projects are the only enumerated megaprojects. A total of $535.6 million was provided for southeast Wisconsin freeway megaprojects in the 2017-19 biennium. This amount was comprised of $18.1 million in state funds, $252.4 million in general fund-supported, general obligation bonds, and $265.1 million of federal funds. Of the total amount, $487.4 million was allocated for the I-94 North-South freeway project, while the remaining $48.2 million was allocated to the core of the Zoo Interchange project.
