10 TxDOT is committed to finishing the widening of Main Street Texas (I-35) to a minimum of six lanes, with continuous frontage roads, from San Antonio to Hillsboro.

11 Highlights Last 96 miles Central Texas 14 segments/17 projects Costs: ~$2.0 B Construction = $1.9B Right-of-way = $450M+ Utility relocation = $110M Complete late 2018 Waco (Frontage Rds Only Funded) Temple Traffic Volumes 55, ,000 veh/day Trucks: 25 35% Active Unfunded Completed

12 I-35 Miles Under Construction Peak Construction: miles

13

14 Primary Changes 3 lanes in each direction on I-35 Added I-35 crossings Added and relocated ramps 1-way continuous frontage roads U-turns at selected crossings Safety rest areas Intelligent Transportation System Truck lane restrictions Aesthetics Green initiatives

15 IH 35 Expansion Project Safety

16 45% of Texas population lives within 50 miles of I million+ travelers per year use this corridor Approximately two-thirds travel through the corridor 1,000+ businesses on the 96 miles between Salado & E-W split north of Hillsboro

17 Measures in Place to Reduce Construction Impacts I-35 lane closures limited to evenings Sun 10pm 7am Mon Fri, 7pm 7am Lane closure blackout dates Advance notifications (e.g., Electronic Message Signs) 6-day work week Incentives for completing construction ahead of schedule

18

19 Employee and Contractor Safety Beginning with June 2011 letting (3A1 project) General Note to items 5 and 7 Joint Contractor/TxDOT Project Safety Plan

20 Requirements of Joint Safety Plan Develop Process to communicate daily activities/tailgate meetings Conduct bi-monthly or monthly joint safety meetings Develop Safety Issue Escalation ladder Joint Peer Safety Review Team / leadership

21 More Joint Safety Plan Requirements Contractor Safety Responsible Person have 30 hour OSHA Construction Safety and Health Training Supervisors and Lead Crew Workers have 10 hour OSHA Construction and Safety Health Training All employees (TxDOT and Contractor) view Safety Task Force Video No direct compensation to Contractors for meeting these requirements

22

23 IH 35 Safety Summit October had 4 th fatality accident in 5 weeks First IH 35 Safety Summit held October 29, 2012 Joint meeting between TxDOT, Law Enforcement and Contractors Discuss Safety Issues, Brainstorm Solutions

24 IH 35 Safety Summits

25 Initial Safety Summit Identified Issues Speed Speeding vehicles Speed limit 70 mph in most work zones Trucks High volume of truck traffic Trucks obscuring view of signs Drivers Drowsy driver Distracted driver (computers, TVs, texting, etc.) Construction Barriers = limited/no shoulders Difficult access for law enforcement vehicles Nighttime construction Sight restrictions Maintenance of barrier wall during winter Public Information How are we educating the public? How to inform non-local drivers? Crashes Quick clearing of incidents /reopening to traffic Hot spots I-35 SB near Lorena MM 346 & 349 US 190 EB to NB I-35 (weaving traffic)

26 Enforcement Can DPS attend weekly construction meetings? Advance enforcement vehicle in barrier zones Radar units RIMS? Regional incident management system? Transtar No passing during merge conditions Increased traffic fines Contractors use of DPS for WZ closure Engineering Rumble strips Use message boards to display other information, not just distance/time to next town No trucks in left lane/no passing/passing restrictions Additional law enforcement projects Re-examine speed limits in construction zones Lower speed limits during lane closures or 24/7? Real-time speed displays/portable units Message boards in DFW and Austin Getting inside the cab of the truck Temporary/portable rumble strips Orange lane striping End-of-queue warning system Education Work zone safety - YouTube video? What does sign, lights, etc. mean? CDL outreach AGC/TxDOT outreach video on work zones (Nov. meeting). 2-hour NHI safety training on work zone safety Billboards Additional work-zone awareness campaigns Getting media more involved Advisory radio Call-in number for roadway conditions Local radio spots Get truck stops involved CB radio messages Meet with local JPs so they understand the issues and the importance Need comprehensive safety analysis of crashes in the corridor

27 Recommendations - Enforcement Improve consistency in use of law enforcement for lane closures TxDOT to discuss at construction meetings Invite law enforcement to weekly construction meetings TxDOT issued invitation Consistent use of advance enforcement vehicle TxDOT to discuss at construction meetings Additional law enforcement projects Meet with Justices of the Peace

28 Recommendations - Engineering TxDOT re-examine speed limits in work zones/lower speed limits during lane closures Minute Order approved for 60 MPH for: o Nighttime mainlane closures o Areas w/barriers on each side and <10 shoulders for 1 mile or more, 24/7 Implement real-time display of speed to motorists Investigated systems trailers being placed Test rumble strip project for lane closure Over 200 deployments 0f End-of-Queue Warning System to date: actively analyzing crash data for effectiveness Expand incident management information system : Created automated system of Traffic Alert s and tweets

29 Recommendations Education/Outreach Expand Public Outreach on Work Zone Safety TxDOT planning work-zone safety campaign Implement billboards with work-zone safety message Post work-zone safety messages on permanent DMS along I-35 Distribute work-zone safety information at Truck Stops and Rest Areas Distribute work-zone safety video via social media Hold NHI Work Zone Safety Training Course Sessions for TxDOT, Contractors, Law Enforcement Research CB Wizard test project: Laws prohibit use of repeating/recorded messages

30 Advance lane closure notifications Roadside message boards days in advance Coordination between Districts Real-time travel conditions Incident alerts (As TxDOT is notified) Sign in Austin District Closure 80 miles away in Waco!

31 Communication/Outreach No surprises! Business & community meetings I-35 newsletter Lane closure notifications Dedicated project staff Public Information Officer TTI Mobility Coordinators TxDOT construction staff
