    TOLL REVENUE NEW BUILD / REPLACEMENT SOUTH NORFOLK PRIVATIZATION PRIVATE FINANCING UNSOLICITED BID JORDAN BRIDGE CHESAPEAKE, VA The South Norfolk Jordan Bridge (“SNJB”) is a 5,372 ft fixed bridge that connects the City of Chesapeake to the City of Portsmouth over the Elizabeth River in Virginia. The City of Chesapeake had decommissioned the original Jordan Bridge in November 2008. An unsolicited proposal submitted by United Bridge Partners (“UBP”) to replace the Jordan Bridge with a new, privately owned bridge was approved by the City of Chesapeake in January 20091 by executing an Acquisition and Development Agreement (“ADA”) between UBP and the City of Chesapeake. As part of the ADA, UBP assumed responsibility to demolish the existing Jordan Bridge, aquired the right of way and easments associated with the bridge, and the right to toll, design, construct, finance, operate and assume ownership of a new bridge and associated tolling facilities on the SNJB. The construction of the SNJB was reported to be privately financed. Project revenue on the SNJB comes from tolls, set by the private operator with no defined limit, which are collected electronically on the bridge2. Note: the facts of this case study were reviewed by UBP. We have provided Chesapeake footnotes to describe instances where UBP disputes information in the public domain.

  • Affected Environment and Environmental Consequences
    Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement Chapter 3: Affected Environment & Environmental Consequences 3.15 INDIRECT AND CUMULATIVE IMPACTS 3.15.1 Regulatory Context and Methodology NEPA legislation does not mention indirect or cumulative impacts; however, the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations for implementing NEPA address federal agency responsibilities applicable to indirect and cumulative considerations, analysis, and documentation requirements (40 CFR 1508.25) for the environmental consequences section of an EIS (40 CFR 1502.16) (FHWA, 2014). In addition to CEQ’s regulations, indirect and cumulative effects assessment is conducted in accordance with the requirements and processes outlined in 23 CFR Part 771, FHWA Interim Guidance: Indirect and Cumulative Impacts in NEPA (2003), FHWA Position Paper on Secondary and Cumulative Impact Assessment (1992), FHWA’s Questions and Answers on Considering Indirect and Cumulative Impacts in the NEPA Process (2015), the Transportation Research Board’s (TRB) National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 466: Desk Reference for Estimating the Indirect Effect of Proposed Transportation Projects (TRB, 2002), NCHRP Project 25-25 Task 22: Land Use Forecasting for Indirect Impacts Analysis (TRB, 2005), NCHRP Project 25-25 Task 11: Secondary/Indirect and Cumulative Effects Analysis (TRB, 2006), as well as CEQ’s Considering Cumulative Effects under the National Environmental Policy Act (1997) and Guidance on the Consideration of Past Actions in Cumulative Effects Analysis (2005). CEQ defines indirect effects as “…effects which are caused by the action and are later in time or farther removed in distance, but are still reasonably foreseeable (40 CFR 1508.8[b]). Indirect effects may include growth-inducing effects and other effects related to induced changes in the pattern of land use, population density or growth rate, and related effects on air and water and other natural systems, including ecosystems” (40 CFR 1508.8[b]).

  • MEMORANDUM US 13 Attachment
    MEMORANDUM TO: HRTO Subcommittee FROM: Jon Chambers, P.E. DATE: December 7, 2018 SUBJECT: Hampton Roads Transportation Operations Strategy – Phase II Corridors of Regional Significance The purpose of this document is to analyze five Corridors of Regional Significance (CORS) to identify the existing conditions and needs along these corridors. Specifically, this analysis looks at the need for high-speed communication upgrades, traffic sensors, and coordinated signal timings. The five corridors examined in this analysis are: US 13 Rt. 143/Jefferson Avenue Warwick Boulevard US 17 US 58 The following existing condition information has been compiled from GIS data. For each corridor, the existing system information has been divided into four subsections of needs: high-speed communications, traffic detectors, signal coordination, and Traveler Information Systems. The data gathered has been consolidated into a GIS database and overall map for ease of reference. The following sections provide written explanation of the contents of the maps. US 13 US 13 was examined starting in Suffolk to the west at the US 13 and Rt. 32 split, through Chesapeake and Norfolk, ending in Virginia Beach at the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel approach. Due to the extensive length of this corridor, the operational influences can vary from one end to the other. On the west end of Suffolk, the operational needs are somewhat internal to the City with traffic influences coming from US 460 and US 58 from the west, railroad crossing impacts, as well as impacts of US58 Business versus the US 58 Bypass. From Bowers Hill to the Northampton intersection, the corridor can be viewed as a parallel route to I- 64 for diversion measures.
