  • Agency Coordination and Public Involvement Deliver Milton-Madison Bridge Project on Time and on Budget
    http://www.environment.fhwa.dot.gov/strmlng/es4newsltrs.asp July 2014 Agency Coordination and Public Involvement Deliver Milton-Madison Bridge Project on Time and on Budget The Milton-Madison Bridge, which connects Milton, Kentucky and Madison, Indiana, has been an important fixture on the Ohio River since its opening in 1929. For the past 85 years the bridge has connected local residents to important services, fueled economic development, and supported historic tourism in both towns. Though the bridge had been rehabilitated several times, it was deemed structurally deficient in 2008, so the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) and the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) kicked off a collaborative effort to replace the bridge. KYTC and INDOT worked closely with a variety of Federal, State, and local agencies, including the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), as well as with the public to select the best method to handle the bridge replacement. The bridge needed to be replaced, including having its main river piers substantially rebuilt, the main river truss and approach spans reconstructed, and its road deck widened. Presenting additional complications were the historic communities on both sides—one of them a National Historic Landmark District. To avoid disrupting the local economy with a lengthy construction process, the project team selected a design-build method that allowed the bridge to remain open except during two closures, totaling 40 days. Communication and collaboration throughout the process among all stakeholders―environmental agencies, historic preservation entities, project planners, consultants, and the public―led to a project design and delivery process that minimized impacts to Milton’s and Madison’s economic, environmental, and historic resources.

  • Freedom Is Written in the Stars a Creative Project
    FREEDOM IS WRITTEN IN THE STARS A CREATIVE PROJECT SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE MASTER OF ARTS BY ALINA MAGDALENA BETERINGHE CHRISTOPHER FLOOK - ADVISOR BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, INDIANA JULY 2016 INTRODUCTION This project’s primary objective is to produce a documentary about the Underground Railroad in the state of Indiana. Including interviews with historians, the documentary’s narrative structure will be told from both the perspective of the fugitive slaves as they escaped freedom to the north, and by the researchers studying it. Societal and cultural impact In the years leading up to the American Civil War, a system to assist runaway slaves of African descent, started to operate in the United States. This system used by slaves to escape their southern masters, became known as the Underground Railroad. The complex system was a combination of routes and dedicated people who helped fugitive slaves to escape from the American southern states to the free American northern states, or to Canada. The Underground Railroad received its name from the similarities with a railway network, but represented more than a network of roads and escape routes. The Underground Railroad is the testimony of a movement that involved not only the fugitive slaves, but also dedicated abolitionists, individuals and entire communities who gathered to protect them from the bounty hunters. Today the Underground Railroad stands as an important part of American history. During its existence, the Underground Railroad had several important passage routes that spread from the East Coast of United States to the Midwest (Calarco, 2011).
