I-95 Fort Mchenry Tunnel: Moravia Road to Tunnel Improvements
Maryland Transportation Authority 2020 - 2023 Transportation Improvement Program Highway Capacity National Highway System I-95 Fort McHenry Tunnel: Moravia Road to Tunnel Improvements TIP ID 22-1601-41 Year of Operation 2018 Agency Maryland Transportation Authority Project Type Roadway widening Project Category Highway Capacity Functional Class Interstate Conformity Status Not Exempt Physical Data 3.7 miles, 6 to 8 lanes CIP or CTP ID(s) MdTA-12 Est. Total Cost $73,807,000 Description: This project will reconfigure I-95 to provide four continuous mainline lanes in each direction. The specific limits are from north of the Fort McHenry Toll Plaza to the I-95 Express Toll Lanes (ETLs) in the northbound direction, and from north of the Fort McHenry Toll Plaza to north of O’Donnell Street in the southbound direction. The total work within the limits extends for 3.7 miles in the northbound direction and 1.1 miles in the southbound direction. The project involves restriping I-95 to provide one additional lane of traffic including reconstruction of at-grade shoulders, replacement of at-grade median concrete traffic barriers, and reconstruction of portions of existing bridge decks and all concrete bridge parapets. Construction continues, but the project opened to traffic for beneficial use in 2018. The project is funded with MDTA toll revenues. Justification: This project will provide lane continuity and additional capacity along I-95 between the Fort McHenry Tunnel and the I-95 ETLs. This is needed to address existing congestion and to accommodate diverted traffic from I-895 that will result from MDTA’s Canton Viaduct Project. -

COMMONWEALTH of VIRGINIA
COMMONWEALTH of VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 1401EASTBROADSTREET RICHMOND,VIRGINIA 23219-2000 GREGORY A. WHIRLEY ACTING COMMISSIONER July 14,2006 Mr. RobertoFonseca-Martinez Division Administrator FHWA, Virginia Division 400North 8thStreet,Room750 Richmond, Virginia 23240 Dear Mr. Fonseca, Attached is the Virginia Department of Transportation's SEP-15 application for the Pocahontas Parkway transaction. As you are aware, the Department successfully negotiated and executed a concession agreement with Transurban (USA) Development, Inc. (TUSA) that resulted in the assignment of the rights to operate, manage and collect tolls on the Parkway. In addition, the agreement requires TUSA to construct, maintain, and operate the Richmond Airport Connector subject to the receipt of TIFIA credit assistance. The Connector is one of only two new-build projects in the Virginia Transportation Improvement Plan and is a priority for the Commonwealth, particularly the Richmond region. The SEP-15 application is to deviate from the definition of "eligible project costs" to allow for the effective utilization of the federal Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act ("TIFIA") for the Pocahontas Parkway and construction of the Richmond Airport Connector. The Department fully and strongly supports the approach described. We appreciate the support and assistance provided by the Division, FHWA Headquarters, and USDOT staff in developing this approach. Mike Saunders in FHWA Headquarters has requested that you notify him of the application upon its delivery. If you have any questions, please contact Barbara Reese. She can be reached at (804) 786-5128. VirginiaDOT.org WE KEEP VIRGINIA MOVING cc: Mrs. Barbara Reese, VDOT CFO Mr. Michael Kuiper, Transurban (USA) Development Inc. -

Pavement Preservation on Interstate 95, Towns of Westbrook and Old Saybrook Final Report May 2015
Connecticut Demonstration Project: Pavement Preservation on Interstate 95, Towns of Westbrook and Old Saybrook Final Report May 2015 i FOREWORD The purpose of the Highways for LIFE (HfL) pilot program is to accelerate the use of innovations that improve highway safety and quality while reducing congestion caused by construction. LIFE is an acronym for Longer-lasting highway infrastructure using Innovations to accomplish the Fast construction of Efficient and safe highways and bridges. Specifically, HfL focuses on speeding up the widespread adoption of proven innovations in the highway community. “Innovations” is an inclusive term used by HfL to encompass technologies, materials, tools, equipment, procedures, specifications, methodologies, processes, and practices used to finance, design, or construct highways. HfL is based on the recognition that innovations are available that, if widely and rapidly implemented, would result in significant benefits to road users and highway agencies. Although innovations themselves are important, HfL is as much about changing the highway community’s culture from one that considers innovation something that only adds to the workload, delays projects, raises costs, or increases risk to one that sees it as an opportunity to provide better highway transportation service. HfL is also an effort to change the way highway community decision makers and participants perceive their jobs and the service they provide. The HfL pilot program, described in Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) Section 1502, includes funding for demonstration construction projects. By providing incentives for projects, HfL promotes improvements in safety, construction-related congestion, and quality that can be achieved through the use of performance goals and innovations. -

Interstate 95
Interstate 95 In the GW Region, the I-95 corridor travels between the Prince William County line and the Hanover County line through Stafford County, the City of Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania County, and Caroline County. Two sub-corridors have been identified along I-95, which is a six-lane divided interstate throughout the region. The northern sub-corridor runs from the Prince William County line through Stafford County and the City of Fredericksburg into Spotsylvania County to the interchange with U.S. 1 (Exit # 126). This section of I-95 primarily accesses suburban areas of the region. This portion of I-95 (around Exit 143 and again between Exits 133 and 126) experiences the highest traffic volumes in the region; south of Exit 126, traffic volumes on I-95 drop off dramatically. The I-95 Express Lanes extending from I-495 in Springfield, VA down to VA Route 610 opened in late December 2014. Monitoring of INRIX data into 2015 will show the effect of these lanes on mainline I- 95 peak period speeds and travel times. The southern sub-corridor is the remainder of the corridor from U.S. 1 to the Hanover County line. This section accesses mostly rural areas of Spotsylvania County and Caroline County. Transit Ridership The majority of the transit service for I-95 is concentrated in the northern sub- corridor. These routes are designed to carry the large number of commuters who live in the FAMPO region but work in and around Washington, DC. All of the commuter bus routes are operated by private bus companies, which make it difficult to provide ridership figures.
