The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is overseeing the $88 million effort, which includes major bridge work and the resurfacing of I-70 between U.S. 40 and State Route 93 in Muskingum County.

By Cindy Riley CEG CORRESPONDENT

Progress continues on a six-year project that will reconstruct I-70 through the city of Zanesville, Ohio. The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is overseeing the $88 million effort, which includes major bridge work and the resurfacing of I-70 between U.S. 40 and State Route 93 in Muskingum County.

“Failures of subgrade throughout the project limits and deteriorating pavement and bridge conditions have caused maintenance throughout this section to become excessive,” said Audrey Seals, ODOT area engineer, who explained that

construction will be stretched out over time.

“The phasing of the project is difficult, as it is necessary to maintain two lanes of traffic in both directions, while also allowing as many ramps to be open as possible throughout Zanesville. Lane closures are only permitted during certain times, mostly at night, due to the volume of traffic that travels this section of I-70. There are 16 bridges that will be rehabilitated on this project, and some of them have limited access, so not all of them are able to be constructed at the same time.”

Pre-Phase 1 work included constructing temporary concrete pavement widening, temporary lighting and installing portable concrete barrier to move traffic to the outside lanes

for the Phase 1 configuration. It also required adding advance radar detectors on various signals throughout Zanesville to improve the traffic flow through town during construction. Two temporary signals also were added at the SR-93 on and off ramps to facilitate the detours to be used throughout the project.

“Phase 1 includes removing the existing median barrier and constructing new concrete barrier with the addition of new lighting on the concrete barrier,” said Seals. “It also includes reconstructing the inside lanes and various ramps, which consist of full depth reconstruction of the pavement with cement stabilization of the subgrade, as well as various see ODOT page 4

rehabilitation of 15 bridges and the removal of one bridge.

“Phase 2 entails constructing the eastbound lanes of I-70 and various ramps, which consists of full depth reconstruction of the pavement with cement stabilization of the subgrade, as well as various rehabilitation of 15 bridges and the removal of one bridge.”

Phase 3 involves constructing the westbound lanes of I-70 and various ramps, while Phase 4 calls for milling out the sacrificial asphalt placed in phases 1-3, as well as existing pavement beyond the full depth reclamation limits on each end of the project between U.S.-40 and SR 93.

A large majority of the project is 100 percent state funded; however, there is federal funding included for culvert preservation, safety funding and bridge rehabilitation for one structure.

Current average daily traffic is 40,620. The project will serve residents of Zanesville, in- and out-of-state travelers and commercial freight traffic.

“Because I-70 is a critical truck route, it’s imperative to keep this portion of Zanesville traversable to commercial traffic,” said Seals. “Throughout the project, we will have narrow lanes with one-foot shoulders, various lane closures, which might cause slight delays, and a speed limit reduction to 45 mph while workers are present.

Seals noted that communicating any traffic pattern Pre-Phase 1 work included constructing temporary concrete pavement widening, temporary lighting and installing a portable concrete barrier to move traffic to changes to the traveling public in a timely manner is the outside lanes for the Phase 1 configuration. key, as is listening to the concerns of motorists while making every effort to address their concerns.

“The overall rideability of this section of I-70 will be greatly improved, with less need for maintenance delays. This project will also improve the lighting, which will increase visibility. The acceleration lane on some ramps will be lengthened to allow for more merge time onto I-70.”

Shelly and Sands serves as the general contractor for the project.

“Shelly and Sands is a local contractor that’s familiar with the city of Zanesville and understands the importance of this project and the amount of Morgan Overbey photo traffic that uses this section of I-70,” said Seals.

According to ODOT, the main concern for crews has “They have also constructed a large number of Morgan Overbey photo mega-construction projects on the Ohio interstate Resurfacing I-70 between U.S. 40 and State Route 93 in involved the lack of right-of-way, resulting in narrow lanes and shoulders, creating a tight work zone, limitsystems around the state.”

the 5th and 7th Street off-ramps. Demolition has begun on four bridges but has yet to begin on the remaining 11.

The rehabilitation on the Zanesville State Street Signature bridge — which will occur in the summer of 2022 while school is not in session — will be the first major milestone for crews. In addition, reconstruction of each ramp and reopening them to traffic at the State Street interchange will be a turning point in construction.

“Other major milestones will be the completion of each phase of construction,” said Sidwell. “However, the most significant to the residents of Zanesville and the surrounding area is the completion of Phase 3, which will allow all ramps to be reopened to traffic, including the 6th street westbound on-ramp and Maple Avenue eastbound on-ramp, which have been closed since switching to Phase 1 in the fall of 2021 due to safety concerns.”

Heavy equipment on the project includes: • trackhoes: a Komatsu 228 USLC, a Hitachi ZA 15, a John Deere 245C and a Caterpillar 360; • cranes: a Grove RT-765E2, a Grove TMS900E; • skid steers: John Deere; • backhoes: Caterpillar; • cement stabilization equipment: Wirtgen; • concrete paver: Wirtgen SP 64i; and • bucket trucks.

Concrete, cement, asphalt, 304 aggregate, steel and rebar are among the main materials required.

Sidwell said the chief concerns when carrying out such a lengthy reconstruction project involve the safety of the traveling public, as well as project personnel, the effect on traffic and the effect on roads and area businesses.

“Staying on time and budget is important as well, as a project that is to occur over many years has the potential to be impacted financially, and weather and various events can affect time.

Added Sidwell, “It’s very rewarding to see a job be built that directly affects your daily commute. I also know how important this project is to the community, and how vital this section of I-70 is to Zanesville.”  CEG

Intel to Build Computer Chip Factories Amid Global Shortage

By John Seewer and Andrew Welsh-Huggins ASSOCIATED PRESS

Intel will invest $20 billion in a new computer chip facility in Ohio amid a global shortage of microprocessors used in a wide variety of products, including phones, cars and video games.

After years of heavy reliance on Asia for the production of computer chips, vulnerability to shortages of the crucial components was exposed in the United States and Europe as they began to emerge economically from the pandemic.

The United States’ share of the worldwide chip manufacturing market has declined from 37 percent in 1990 to 12 percent today, according to the Semiconductor Industry Association.

Two chip factories on the 1,000-acre site in Licking County, just east of Columbus, are expected to create 3,000 company jobs and 7,000 construction jobs, and to support tens of thousands of additional jobs for suppliers and partners, the company and local and state officials announced Jan. 21.

Construction is expected to begin this year, with production coming online at the end of 2025.

Shortages of chips have crimped the ability of United States automakers to produce vehicles. Last year, General Motors was unseated by Toyota as the nation’s top-selling automaker for the first time.

The United States and Europe are pushing to aggressively build chip manufacturing capacity and reduce reliance on producers that are now mostly based in Asia.

Most big semiconductor companies are dependent on chips produced in Asia, particularly in Taiwan. Taiwan leads the world in chip production, accounting for 22 percent of global manufacturing capacity, followed

by South Korea with 21 percent and Japan and mainland China each with 15 percent, according to the semiconductor association.

Several chipmakers last year signaled an interest in expanding their American operations if the United States government is able to make it easier to build chip plants.

Chipmakers are diversifying their manufacturing sites in response to the shortages.

Samsung said in November that it planned to build a $17-billion factory outside Austin, Texas.

Micron Technology, based in Boise, Idaho, said it would invest $150 billion globally over the next decade in developing its line of memory chips, with a potential United States manufacturing expansion if tax credits can help make up for the higher costs of American manufacturing.

Demand for computer chips continues to grow.

Lawmakers have been urging House and Senate leaders to fully fund a law meant to address the semiconductor shortage. They want Congress to fully fund the $52-billion CHIPS for America Act, allowing for stateside investment in semiconductor factories.

Not only has the chip shortage disrupted the United States economy, it is creating a vulnerability in the country’s defense system because eight of every 10 chips are produced in Asia, lawmakers said.

Separate federal legislation also under consideration would create a new tax credit for investment in semiconductor manufacturing facilities.

Shortages during the pandemic highlighted the need for more manufacturing capacity in the United States and for becoming less reliant on Asia, said Glenn O’Donnell, an analyst at Forrester Research.

“Your two biggest producers are Taiwan and South Korea and both are vulnerable spots on the world stage,” he said.

U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo applauded the announcement.

“Intel’s work is essential to our efforts to rebuild America’s chip building capacity and create the kinds of good-paying jobs that support a vibrant American economy,” she said.

The Intel project is the largest single private-sector investment in Ohio’s history, on par with an agreement in 1977 that brought Honda to central Ohio, where it now employs more than 14,000 people. The Intel jobs are expected to pay an average of $135,000 a year plus benefits, with the project slated to add $2.8 billion to the state’s annual gross product, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said in a statement.

“Intel’s new facilities will be transformative for our state, creating thousands of goodpaying jobs in Ohio manufacturing strategically vital semiconductors,” DeWine said.

Intel, based in Santa Clara, announced plans last year to spend $20 billion for two new factories in Arizona. It’s also pitching for European subsidies to build a big plant somewhere within the European Union and last month said it would invest $7.1 billion to expand its decades-old manufacturing operation in Malaysia, home to roughly 10 percent of the company’s global workforce. Along with the United States and Malaysia, Intel also has plants in Ireland, Israel, Vietnam and China.

Intel is the No. 2 semiconductor manufacturer globally, with $73.1 billion in revenue last year, behind South Korea-based Samsung Electronics with $76 billon, according to market analysis from Gartner Inc. Central Ohio, long known for a largely white-collar workforce in banking and insurance, has added high-tech jobs in recent years, with Amazon, Facebook and Google all building data centers in the region. 
