ENCLOSURE A-ALL COMMITTEES (PUBLIC HEARING AND TPO ROLL CALL VOTE REQUIRED) Consideration of Resolution FL-AL 18-12 to Amend the Florida-Alabama 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan for Two projects: (1) Gulf Coast Intracoastal Waterway Bridge from SR 180 (Canal Road) to Foley Beach Express and (2) Wolf Bay Bridge and Connecting Roads from SR 180 (Canal Road) to CR 20- Mr. Gary Kramer, WFRPC Staff FLORIDA, ALABAMA TCC MEETING MINUTES June 11, 2018 (Page 4 of 7) Mr. Vince Calametti, ALDOT Southwest Region Engineer, stated that this project was about increasing capacity in the north/south direction in Baldwin County. Mr. Calametti stated that currently ALDOT has control of only one structure over the Intracoastal Waterway that is on SR 59. He explained that on many occasions that location is at gridlock and that ALDOT had discussed an option of improving capacity on 59. That option was cost prohibitive, estimating 228 million dollars. Mr. Calametti discussed the amount of condos in the area of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. Mr. Calametti stated that in the summer of 2015 there was a study preformed to determine how many cars going down SR 59 were making a left turn towards Orange Beach. The study indicated that most of the traffic coming south across the Intracoastal Waterway are making a left turn headed to the Orange Beach area. Mr. Calametti explained that the Gulf Coast Intracoastal Waterway Bridge project is ALDOT's project to improve capacity on SR 59 and to also give another option for beach evacuation. Mr. Calametti stated that the Gulf Coast Intracoastal Waterway Bridge project is a four lane facility that will go south of CR 8. The first phase is the single bridge and a two lane facility with a trumpet ramp and a roundabout. Mr. Calametti stated that there had been previous discussion about the added traffic on Canal Road and stated that these projects will help facilitate the traffic that already exists today. Mr. Calametti stated that currently there are two lanes eastbound, a center turn lane, and a westbound lane. The additional second westbound lane will be installed and then at the intersection SR 180 and SR 161, there will be free flow movements with the traffic signal. This will allow the traffic to get to the beach road more efficiently. Mr. Calametti discussed the public involvement in this project. On October 18, 2016, there was a meeting with the City of Gulf Shores. There was a property owners and City Of Gulf Shores meeting on November 15, 2016 and on March 28, 2017 there was a Corp of Engineers meeting. On November 7, 2017 there was a City of Orange Beach meeting and on March 5, 2018, there was a FL-AL TPO publilc workshop. The Corp Of Engineers are currently in the public meeting decison matrix period for the existing permit modification. Mr. Ward asked Mr. Kramer if there needed to be a separate presentation for Enclosure B. Mr. Kramer responded that there did not. Mr. Ward read Enclosure B for informational purposes. ` Ms. Tina Staff stated that her husband attended the April meeting to discuss the same issues. Ms. Staff spoke in opposition to the proposed Gulf Coast Intracoastal Waterway Bridge project and provided the committee with documents that included statements from engineers, mayors, and ALDOT representatives, discussing the project. Ms. Staff stated that her house was adjacent to the road and overpass that were being proposed. Ms. Staff said that she believed the Intracoastal Waterway bridge would worsen traffic problems. Ms. Staff said that she did not understand spending so much money on a bridge that would add more traffic on Canal Road and that she did not see a need for the proposed bridge. Ms. Staff expressed that she believed the project was about politics and not infrastructure and that in 2016, when ALDOT brought plans for the bridge at the proposed location, Orange Beach official said that it would make traffic problems worse. Ms. Staff added that at the last TPO meeting, her husband and the committee were told by ALDOT's representative that there were studies showing a need for this road and bridge, but that the Director admitted there had been none.

  • December 2019 Progress Report
    PERFORMANCE OF EXISTING ABC PROJECTS: INSPECTION CASE STUDIES (ABC-UTC-2016-2-FIU02) Quarterly Progress Report For the period ending November 30, 2019 Submitted by: Armin Mehrabi Affiliation: Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering Florida International University Miami, FL Submitted to: ABC-UTC Florida International University Miami, FL 1. Background and Introduction Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC) employs prefabricated bridge elements moved to the bridge location and installed in place. Accordingly, ABC reduces many uncertainties associated with construction processes and performance during service life. It also improves the life cycle cost by reducing construction time and traffic interruptions, better control over schedule, and normally by the higher quality of elements resulting in better life-cycle performance. Nevertheless, prefabricated elements need to be made continuous using cast-in-place joints. ABC “closure joints” connecting deck elements to each other and to the bridge girders have greater exposure to degrading environmental effects, and often there is more focus on their evaluation. These joints, expected to become serviceable quickly can therefore be viewed as critical elements of the ABC bridges. Instances of defective (leaky) joints have been reported, and concerns have been raised about the long-term durability of the joints. The long-term deflections and environmental loading can only exacerbate this situation. These may overshadow the many advantages of ABC specifically as life-cycle performance and costs are concerned. Hence, there have been questions on the long-term performance of ABC bridges. There have been limited investigations by some states to monitor the ABC bridges for determining their performance. ABC-UTC, through a collaborative effort by partner universities, is planning to embark on a coordinated and extensive inspection program to inspect several bridges in various states.

  • Northwest Florida Roads Project Overview
    NORTHWEST FLORIDA ROADS www.nwflroads.com SR 87 CONNECTOR PD&E STUDY (416748-3) PROJECT OVERVIEW The general objective of this PD&E Study is to provide and document information necessary for the FDOT to reach a decision on the type, design and location of improvements for a SR 87 Connector. The project limits include the intersection of SR 87 South and Bent Tree Road, westward to the intersection of US 90 / SR 10 and Glover Lane, and northwardly to the intersection of SR 87 North and Southridge Drive in Santa Rosa County, Florida. PROJECT WEBSITE www.sr87connector.com PROJECT STATUS An analysis was completed for the portion of Alternative 2 (which was shifted north) to determine if the new location would impact any environmentally sensitive sites. The Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) and any affected support documents were updated to include this analysis. Due to the shift, the project’s evaluation matrix was updated, which resulted in Alternative 2 performing better than Alternative 1. The project team submitted the Final Environmental Impact Statement/Record of Decision (FEIS/ROD) to FHWA for review and comment. FHWA’s review has been finalized and the document was signed on October 20, 2016. The Location Design Concept Acceptance for this project has been awarded. The Design phase is planned for fiscal year 2019. As of December 2016, there is no funding for the Construction phase of this project through the year 2040. STUDY PROCESS This study will consider those engineering services required for location/design studies including consideration of all social, economic, environmental effects, and mitigation as required by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and/or the PD&E\ETDM Guidelines, along with the required environmental documents, engineering, reports, preliminary plans and public involvement.
