A project along the I-70 corridor has received a regional America’s Transportation Award for its use of technology.
The Trib reports that the reconstructed interchanges at the Yukon and Madison exits and the four mile stretch of highway between them used aerial photography rather than on-the-ground surveying, and software that modeled traffic in the area of the new industrial park, that according to portfolio manager Jeremy Shaneyfelt. The project involved lengthening the acceleration and deceleration lanes at the two exits, constructing an eastbound auxiliary lane between the interchanges and widening the median and shoulders, in addition to the construction of roundabouts.
