A multi-phase undertaking that will modernize a crucial corridor is making significant progress in northern Kentucky. The KY 536 widening and safety project, which includes Bristow Road (KY 1303) to Williamswoods Drive, will better accommodate current and future traffic demands by including a number of upgrades designed to improve traffic flow. “This project provides a solid east/west connection for southern Boone, Kenton and Campbell counties,” Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) District 6 spokesman Jake Ryle told Construction Equipment Guide. “Having four lanes, two in each direction, will reduce travel congestion. Straighter roads, roundabouts and shareduse paths will improve conditions for both motorist and pedestrian travel.” see KYTC page 70

Advanced Machine Operations Simulation Technology Hopes to Get Trainees Up to Speed Sooner Simulation technology that offers would-be operators a safer approach to training on heavy equipment is now commonplace in the transportation construction sector. MIT aims to advance the machine operations simulation experience and shorten the time it takes operator trainees to get up to speed with intuitive technology and “worldspace” interface. Simulator technology has been used in heavy equipment training for many years now with dramatically positive results. By Lucy Perry
