    PIN X735.82 Van Wyck Expressway Capacity and Access Improvements to JFK Airport Project DDR/DEIS CHAPTER 2 Project Context PIN X735.82 Van Wyck Expressway Capacity and Access Improvements to JFK Airport Project DDR/DEIS Project Context 2.1 PROJECT HISTORY As part of a post-World War II $200-million development program, and in anticipation of an increased population size, the City of New York sought to expand its highway and parkway system to allow for greater movement throughout the five boroughs. The six-lane Van Wyck Expressway (VWE) was envisioned to help carry passengers quickly from the newly constructed Idlewild Airport (present-day John F. Kennedy International Airport [JFK Airport]) to Midtown Manhattan. In 1945, the City of New York developed a plan to expand the then-existing Van Wyck Boulevard into an expressway. The City of New York acquired the necessary land in 1946 and construction began in 1948, lasting until 1953. The Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) bridges for Jamaica Station, which were originally constructed in 1910, were reconstructed in 1950 to accommodate the widened roadway. The designation of the VWE as an interstate highway started with the northern sections of the roadway between the Whitestone Expressway and Kew Gardens Interchange (KGI) in the 1960s. By 1970, the entire expressway was a fully designated interstate: I-678 (the VWE). In 1998, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) began work on AirTrain JFK, an elevated automated guideway transit system linking downtown Jamaica to JFK Airport. AirTrain JFK utilizes the middle of the VWE roadway to create an unimpeded link, connecting two major transportation hubs in Queens.

  • Nysdot Kew Gardens Project Bim As an As-Built Record
    Case Study NYSDOT KEW GARDENS PROJECT BIM AS AN AS-BUILT RECORD BACKGROUND This case study covers the overall building information modeling (BIM) for infrastructure The New York State approach used in the Kew Gardens Interchange (KGI) project, as well as considerations Department of Transportation for model development and positive impacts to the project as a result of BIM use. (NYSDOT) used building information modeling (BIM) for the Kew Gardens Interchange (KGI) Reconstruction Project (Figure 1) in Queens, New York, during the third phase of the project. By making a three-dimensional (3D) computer-aided design and drafting (CADD) model an as-built record, the digital 3D model was refined and updated throughout construction completion. This accurate and complete as-built record (including underground utilities) was created for ongoing maintenance, operations, and asset management purposes during the life cycle of the Bernstein Associates Photographers, Tarrytown, NY, used with permission Figure 1. Section of the Kew Gardens Interchange Project during construction interchange. BIM FOR INFRASTRUCTURE APPROACH The KGI is the complex intersection of the Grand Central Parkway, the Van Wyck Expressway, the Jackie Robinson Parkway, and the Union Turnpike that serves nearly 600,000 vehicles daily. The NYSDOT is making a number of operational improvements at the interchange to enhance safety and improve traffic flow, with four construction contracts worth almost $700 million and with Phase 1 breaking ground in 2010. Due to the project’s complexity, BIM was used as an as-built record, which was used in subsequent phases of the project. Phase 3 of the KGI was the first design-bid-build (DBB) project to have a NYSDOT BIM requirement and was ongoing as of December 2019.
