ODOT’s $500M I-75 Thru the Valley Enters Second Year By Irwin Rapoport CEG CORRESPONDENT
Phases 1 and 2 of the Ohio Department of Transportation’s (ODOT) seven-phase, multi-year I-75 Thru the Valley Project, which is valued at $500 to $600 million, began last spring when John R. Jurgensen Company (JRJC) crews began its $96 million contract. The company’s portion is expected to be completed in the fall of 2020. The ongoing work in the greater Cincinnati area covers approximately 2.7 mi. of I-75 from just south of Shepherd Lane to just north of Glendale-Milford Road. It is being funded by the Transportation Review Advisory Council and ODOT’s Bridge and Pavement Funds. Phase 1 will widen and resurface I-75 between Shepherd and Glendale-Milford, redesign the Shepherd Lane interchange, remove collector distributor system and improve the Glendale-Milford interchange. Phase 2 will construct a local connection between Shepherd Avenue and GlendaleMilford Road thru GE (Neumann Way). The overall project covers nearly 8 mi.,
and will see a lane added on each side of I75 (currently three-lanes in each direction); the resurfacing of the existing roadway; and upgrading of several interchanges from state Route 126/Ronald Reagan Cross County Highway to just south of I-275. An additional fifth auxiliary lane will be added where warranted. The project’s goals are to improve safety and ease congestion on I-75, increase regional mobility and provide transportation solutions that fit in with local residential and commercial development. The overall section being upgraded carries approximately 92,980 cars and trucks daily, and when completed, will meet traffic needs for several decades. “All along the I-75 corridor we have traffic congestion,” said Brian Cunningham, communications manager, ODOT District 8, “and in particular, in morning and afternoon rush periods. These interchanges were designed in the 1950s, built in the 1960s, and do not meet today’s geometrical design, nor traffic volumes. The area is also receiving a lot more through commercial traffic which we have to account for.”
Boulders Crash Onto Ohio Highway, Force Cleanup Boulders as wide as a traffic lane have tumbled onto a highway and closed part of that road in Ohio’s far southern tip. The Ohio Department of Transportation said no one was hurt in the rock slide on state Route 7 near Chesapeake, across the Ohio River from Huntington, West Virginia. The department said crews began trying to break up and move the rocks Feb. 26 and continued that work overnight. The crashing boulders left massive cracks in the road. The department has warned that the westbound lanes of Route 7 could be closed for weeks for cleanup and repair work after. The highway’s eastbound lanes were expected to reopen more quickly. (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)
Work continues on Glendale-Milford Road and on the new Neumann Way on-ramp to northbound I-75.
The 8-mi. section was built in 1960s. The Phase 1 and 2 work was designed by IBE Group. “We’re looking at the pavement to last 12 to 15 years,” said Cunningham, “which may require some incremental maintenance work.” The I-75 Thru the Valley highway is a multi-state concern, with planning for the upgrade beginning in 2000 when the North South Transportation Initiative and the Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission cooperated in a regional multi-modal transportation plan. “Improvements are being designed to minimize construction impacts,” said Cunningham. “Every attempt is being made to maintain three lanes of traffic in each direction throughout the duration of construction, but there will be times that is not possible during night work. For Phase 1, construction of the Glendale-
Milford Bridge is under way. Phase 2 work has seen a barrier put in place for Glendale-Milford Bridge work and ramp closure. The NB collector of I-75 to EB Glendale-Milford ramp has been closed and the SB collector of I-75 to the GlendaleMilford ramps shifted to temporary pavement with reduced lane widths to allow for new ramp construction. “There are issues on every project dealing with inclement weather, scheduling conflicts and work zone crashes,” said Cunningham, “but we’re not experiencing anything unique that is affecting the project. Right now, most of the work is occurring by day, and during the winter months, the work is minimal. We’re expecting additional crews coming on at the end of February.” Routine progress meetings are held with Jurgensen and other stakeholders. see PROJECT page 2

Jurgensen Crews Construct Glendale-Milford Ramp PROJECT from page 1
The plan of attack for the new lanes and the reconstruction is based on removing all existing asphalt to dirt level, and replacing with 8-in. aggregate base and then 14.25 in. asphalt for the final surface course. Currently, Jurgensen crews are constructing the Glendale-Milford ramp within the NE and SW quadrants of the Glendale-Milford Bridge, the company is putting in a detention pond by North Evendale Drive and Glendale-Milford. “For the I-75 SB mainline and SB collector,” said Cunningham, “they will be removing barrier wall and installing temporary pavement in preparation for traffic shift in the spring. Temporary signal and temporary roadway lighting installation is ongoing along GlendaleMilford and Evendale. North Evendale traffic was shifted in early December 2017 to the east onto existing and temporary pavement, with reduced lane widths. MSE wall construction along the north side of Glendale-Milford between I-75 and North Evendale, behind Mike Albert Leasing, will occur in the spring 2018.” Zac Farrell, Jurgensen’s project manager, is pleased with the progress thus far. “This project is not atypical for an ODOT project,” he said, “there is just a greater volume of work in a three-mile area. What makes it unique is not only do we have to consider the travelling public, but also the considerable number of large private companies and industries in the area. Our progress is not only through the scheduling and planning process, but we have additional partnering and progress meetings on a weekly basis that are helping us to coordinate the work and mitigate issues as they arise.” On an average day one can find nearly 25 to 30 JRJC and subcontractor personnel on site, with 40 plus on peak days. The subcontractors for the project are Security Fence Group Inc., Twin Rivers Construction Company, Veach Trucking Inc., A & A Safety Inc., Black Swamp Steel Inc., Capital Tunneling Inc., Complete Clearing Inc., DOT Diamond Core Drilling Inc., Great Lakes Construction Co., K & R Excavating & Landscaping Inc., Oglesby Construction Inc.,
The Phase 1 and 2 work was designed by IBE Group.
Specialties Company LLC, UCL Inc., W L Markers Inc., Rainbow Environmental, Geotech Services Inc., Buckeye Concrete Pumping Inc., Scherzinger Drilling Inc. and Evers Welding Co. Inc. As the project is still in its early stage, figures for the anticipated removal and recycling of materials and the use of new materials are yet to be determined. This project is one of several megaprojects that ODOT is currently engaged in Cincinnati area. “While we experience incremental improvement for local traffic,” said Cunningham, “we will not realize the full benefit until all the phases in the Cincinnati area have been completed. I-75 in Ohio has undergone major improvements along the entire corridor including in Toledo, Findlay, Lima, and Dayton. This work includes interchange and reconstruction of stretches of I-75.” JRJC is using a variety of equipment on this project: Cat and Komatsu excavators; Cat and John Deere dozers, Cat loaders; Cat asphalt pavers and Gomaco concrete pavers; Cat and Hamm rollers; and Cat compacters. “We always seem to deal with hydraulic issues,” said Farrell. “Mostly of all of our equipment is run with telematics — both Trimble and Topcon. When we take the design and put it into a 3-D model, we always need to fine tune how the controls work on the equipment — we always need to have a technician on site to integrate the model with the control system on the equipment. For the most part
The I-75 Thru the Valley highway is a multi-state concern, with planning for the upgrade beginning in 2000 when the North South Transportation Initiative and the Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission cooperated in a regional multi-modal transportation plan.
our mechanics repair the equipment quickly, and we’re pretty fortunate to be close to our home base of operation. The mechanics come out right away when there are issues.” While Phase 1 and 2 are ongoing, Phase 3, which covers Galbraith Road, is expected to cost between $39 to $49 million and is anticipated to start in the fall of 2022 and be completed in the summer of 2024. This work will see the reconstruction of I-75 between bridge over the Mill Creek and Ronald Reagan Highway (SR126), and a fourth lane in each direction. Phase 4 will cost between $22 and $32 million will start at the same time and be completed in the fall of 2022. It will replace a railroad bridge and realign the exit ramp to Galbraith. The Phase 5 work, which will run between $63 to $73 million will start spring 2024 to spring 2025, and will reconstruct southbound I-75 from Shepherd to Galbraith, add a fourth lane and construct a collector-distributor road to provide ramps to and from Anthony Wayne and Galbraith. Phase 6 — $125 to $135 million in spring 2027 to spring 2030 — will reconstruct northbound I-75 from Galbraith to Shepherd adding a fourth lane and construct a ramp from westbound Ronald Reagan Highway to northbound I-75. The original Phase 7 plan was scrapped as its elements are now covered by other phases, and Phase 8, which will run between $35 to $45 million in spring 2020 to fall 2021 will see the reconstruction of I-75 from Glendale-Milford to Kemper overpass, adding a fourth lane in each direction and adding capacity at the Sharon interchange and at Sharon and Chester. “During the 20-year period between 2010 and 2030 ODOT will invest between $1 billion and $1.5 billion in improvements along the I-75 corridor from the Ohio River to Warren County.” said Cunningham. “We will continue to work to complete the planned improvements to reduce congestion and improve safety along this vital corridor.” (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

Ohio Has New Uses for Sediment From Lake Erie’s Harbors By John Seewer ASSOCIATED PRESS
The biggest hurdle will be dealing with the huge volume of sediment. There’s enough dredged from Toledo’s harbor each year to fill 70,000 dump trucks.
TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) The federal agency that keeps open shipping channels along Lake Erie has settled a long dispute with Ohio over what to do with sand, soil and mud scooped out of Cleveland’s harbor. What’s next for the state is getting rid of more than 1.2 million tons of sediment dredged from seven other ports each year before a new law bans dumping it in the lake by the summer of 2020. Ohio’s Environmental Protection Agency convinced lawmakers last year that putting the sediment right back in the lake doesn’t make sense and could be contributing the toxic algae outbreaks in recent years, leading to the ban on dumping. Now the agency is coming up with alternative uses for the huge amounts of silt.
when the Army Corps proposed dumping sediment from Cleveland’s harbor offshore. That led to a legal battle settled this past week — the end result is sediment from Cleveland will continue to go into containment site and not into the lake.
The Problem Since the 1980s, the state EPA has wanted to stop the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers from dumping dredged sediment into the lake. Only the contaminated silt coming from the Cuyahoga River went into a contained disposal site. The issue flared up again a few years ago
Test Project The feud forced both sides to look at whether there were better ways to use the sediment instead of dumping it into the lake or the containment site. State lawmakers approved spending $10 million to research alternative uses. Over the past two years, Cleveland has
been filtering the sediment and using it in road projects and filling the basements of abandoned homes that have been torn down. Now, about two-thirds of the sediment that would have gone into the containment site is being recycled for other uses, said Jade Davis of the Cleveland-Cuyahoga Port Authority. That, he said, will extend the life of the containment site by at least 20 years. End Dumping With two years to go before the ban on dumping silt into Lake Erie takes effect, the Ohio EPA said it has a plan how to better use
the sediment from the remaining seven harbors —the biggest amounts coming from Toledo, Sandusky, Huron and Lorain. “We don’t want to find just another place to dump it,’’ said David Emerman, who is overseeing the state project. Instead, the sediment will be used to create wetlands along the lakefront, applied to farmland and low-lying fields and turned into marketable soil and can be used at construction sites or sold at nurseries, Emerman said. One idea being looked at is building a series of wetlands near Toledo and in Sandusky Bay. The wetlands would act as natural filters for water draining into the lake and could help reduce the type of contaminants that feed harmful algae. They also could have hiking paths and benefit wildlife and outdoor recreation, he said. The biggest hurdle will be dealing with the huge volume of sediment. There’s enough dredged from Toledo’s harbor each year to fill 70,000 dump trucks. “It’s a challenge that, I think, is meetable,’’ Emerman said.

2017 Recap…
Ohio Turnpike Shows Gains in Safety, Free Flow Traffic Even with another record-breaking increase in traffic, the Ohio Turnpike managed to keep the roadway free from traffic backups 99.8 percent of the time in 2017. More importantly, the number of fatalities due to traffic crashes declined from 12 in 2016 and 11 in 2015 to six in 2017. For the third year in a row, more vehicles traveled on the Ohio Turnpike than any other year in its 62-year history. The total of 55.2 million vehicles in 2017 eclipsed the previous record from 2016, which was 54.9 million vehicles (passenger cars and commercial vehicles, combined).
In 2017, the Turnpike also recorded the second most number of vehicle miles traveled in its history with 3.038 billion miles traveled. This was only 2.6 million fewer miles traveled than in the record year, 2006. The results were reported at Jan. 24 meeting of the Ohio Turnpike and Infrastructure Commission. “With our continued focus on safety and efficiency, it’s especially satisfying to see a significant decline in fatalities and an increase in our free-flowing traffic,” said Executive Director Randy Cole. “Our customers expect a better way to
travel without delays and we look forward to exceeding expectations again in 2018.” All reported traffic delays encountered by customers declined in 2017 to 230, compared to 284 in 2016. In addition, there was a 47 percent decline in the number of hours customers spent in a traffic backup. Among the reasons for improvements in Ohio Turnpike safety and traffic flow were: • Increased use of night-time work in construction and maintenance zones when traffic volumes are lower, which
“Our customers expect a better way to travel without delays and we look forward to exceeding expectations again in 2018.”

keeps more lanes open during daytime travel; • Increased enforcement by the Ohio State Highway Patrol, including aerial enforcement of speed limits in construction zones; • Use of dynamic message boards to slow vehicles in construction zones; • Increased communication with customers on zone notifications and the importance of safety, including driving without distractions, observing the speed limit and driving appropriately during inclement weather; • Installation of LED speed limit warning signs in lanes at busy Toll Plazas (Exits 71, 161and 218); and • Reduction of credit card transaction times as a result of a new credit card software processing system installed in 2016. Over the course of more than 2 million transactions per year, time spent by customers at toll booths is reduced by an estimated 12,000 hours annually. Significant statistics for E-ZPass include a 2.4 percent gain in the percentage of total traffic that used E-ZPass on the Ohio Turnpike. In 2016, 57.1 percent of all customers (passenger cars and commercial vehicles) used E-ZPass, saving them both time and money. E-ZPass customers save an average of 33 percent on tolls compared to cash-paying customers. E-ZPass growth in 2017 also includes a 2.3 percent gain in the percentage of passenger cars using E-ZPass and a 1.1 percent rise in the number of commercial vehicles that used E-ZPass last year. E-ZPass transponders are available to the public at participating retail locations of Giant Eagle Inc. and GetGo, Barney’s Convenience Mart Inc., Discount Drug Mart and Mickey Mart, as well as select local BMV and AAA locations.
