U.S. Route 33 Nelsonville Bypass Wins Transportation Award ODOT was recognized at the Mid America Association of State Transportation Officials (MAASTO) annual meeting for the work done on the U.S. Route 33 Nelsonville Bypass project. The Nelsonville Bypass was one of three projects to receive America’s Best Use of Innovation Award. The program is sponsored by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), the American Automobile Association and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. “I’m proud that this important project has been recognized by our peers,” said ODOT Director Jerry Wray. “The Nelsonville Bypass will help bring new jobs and additional tourism to southeast Ohio.” The three-phase, 8.5-mi. (13.6 km), $160 million Nelsonville Bypass project is the largest high-

way construction project in southeast Ohio’s history. The original U.S. Route 33 through Nelsonville was heavily congested and had a history of crashes and injuries.
The bypass consists of two interchanges into historic Nelsonville by way of Athens and Hocking counties, and includes several overpasses and local road
improvements. It is expected the new bypass will open up commerce and economic development opportunities to the region. Motorists can now travel more safely and efficiently to southeast Ohio. The project has cut nearly 50 mi. off the trip from Columbus to Charleston, W.Va. “Winning the award helps put southeastern Ohio and the entire Appalachian region in the national spotlight — a wonderful thing for the area,” said District 10 Deputy Director Steve Williams. “This award is dedicated not only to southeast Ohioans, but to the ODOT employees who spent countless hours on planning, designing and building the Nelsonville Bypass.” One of the reasons the projectwas recognized by MAASTO was because nearly 5 mi. (8 km) of the
bypass bisects Wayne National Forest. Constructing a new highway through a national forest required collaboration and oversight by numerous agencies, including ODOT, the National Forest Service, the Environmental Protection Agency, wildlife specialists and others. The project’s unique alignment prompted ODOT to implement several wildlife and environmental mitigation techniques. The department invested more than $10 million protecting natural habitat and endangered species of the forest, and actually increased its size due to land donated by ODOT. The department also spent nearly $30 million on mitigating century-old mines under the roadway.

Hutton Strader Joins ALL Erection & Crane Rental Corp. Hutton Strader has joined the ALL Family of Companies in the newly created position of business development specialist. The multifaceted position will focus on high-priority account management, which includes overseeing the company’s national accounts program. He also will be responsible for conducting technical sales support across the ALL Family’s entire North American footprint. Additionally, he will assist product managers at the company’s Cleveland headquarters with fleet evaluation and new product assessments. Overall, Strader will bridge sales and marketing functions, approaching both with a unique strategy that combines problem solving and problem avoidance. Strader will be able to draw from his years of experience as an engineer to further improve the lift analysis capabilities within
the ALL Family of Companies — continuing to emphasize safety, efficiency and uptime. “I am humbled that this is the third position I’ve had that was created specifically for me,” said Strader. “As an engineer, I think I have shown value by approaching organizations differently and helping them look at themselves differently.” Strader joins ALL Erection & Crane Rental Corp. from Liebherr Cranes Inc., where he was national accounts manager for more than five years. It was in this position that Strader came to learn more about the ALL Family. “I took a comprehensive approach to national accounts and came to understand how the company operated, seeing the 37branch ALL Family as one entity,” said
Strader. “I work from the top down and from the bottom up; I know that everyone in the organization has something important to share.” “Hutton was an essential part of our past successes with Liebherr, and we saw synergies in forging a closer partnership,” said Michael Liptak, president of ALL. “As an engineer, Hutton has an analytical way of looking at cranes, lift sites and their interaction. But more so, he takes an engineering approach to business problems, bringing about solutions in a logical fashion. That makes him a great asset to our team.” For more information call 800/232-4100 or visit www.allcrane.com.

Adding to the List...
State Expands $120M Local Bridge Partnership Program A state plan providing $120 million to local governments to make bridges safer for the motoring public recently got a boost. The state’s Local Bridge Partnership Program is adding 10 additional bridges to a program that is already fixing or replacing 220 bridges in local communities throughout Ohio. “This first-of-its-kind program is getting better because Gov. John Kasich and I value the state investments we are making in the infrastructure of our local communities,” said Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor. “Ohio is in a better place today as we continue to focus on
• Wilmington Road over Gum Run in Warren County • Clay Pike over Little Salt Creek in Muskingum County • County Road 25C over Rock Riffle Run in Athens County • Millsboro West Road over a stream in Richland County • Blue Rock Road over Blue Rock Creek in Muskingum County • Sandbar Road over the Little Muskingum River in Monroe County • Remsen Road over a branch of the Rocky River in Medina County
“This administration understands that improving local bridges, improves our entire state transportation system and helps motorists safely get from point-A to point-B.” Jerry Wray ODOT
jobs and the economy, and transportation is critical to moving our state forward.” The first bridge completely reconstructed as part of the new program opened up Aug. 22 in Meigs County. The bridge on Tornado Road (or County Road 124) over the Yellowbush Creek just outside of Rutland took just six weeks and $492,570 to reconstruct. Last fall, Gov. John R. Kasich announced a $120 million investment in repairing or replacing more than 200 county and cityowned bridges over three years. Since many bridges came in well under original estimates, the state has added more bridges to the list of 220, bringing the new total to 230 local bridges fixed or replaced by the end of 2016. The 10 new bridges slated for reconstruction over the next couple of years are: • Johnson Road over Bradford Creek in Madison County • Township Road 365 over Wills Creek in Guernsey County • Thayer Road over Dry Creek in Knox County
The first 30 local bridges are currently under construction or heading to construction in the coming days. In 2015 and 2016, the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) will award contracts to repair or replace the remaining 200 bridges. “Most people can’t get from home to a major interstate without traveling on local roads and bridges,” said ODOT Director Jerry Wray. “This administration understands that improving local bridges, improves our entire state transportation system and helps motorists safely get from point-A to point-B.” Prior to the state’s Local Bridge Partnership Program, ODOT had not made such a large scale investment in the bridges of local counties and cities. Ohio has 44,000 bridges, the second-highest number in the nation behind Texas. According to some reports, the condition of Ohio’s bridges is better than the national average but many bridges are still waiting for much-needed repairs.

That’s why Hyundai designs their equipment with features that matter. From the minute-by-minute, online ability to connect with your machines and know their exact productivity, to the best warranty in the business - 3 years/3000 hours full machine and 5 years/10,000 hours structural.

Trench ‘How-To’ Video Goes Live...
Peterson Pacific ODOT Uses Online Video Animation Names AggCorp to Help Drivers Travel Through Area New Distributor The “trench” currently under construction on the Interstate 270/U.S. Route 23 North Side Fix project in Columbus can be a challenge for motorists. But ODOT is using online video animation to help drivers travel safely through the area. As part of the $75 million project, two new express lanes for U.S. 23 northbound traffic are being constructed in the middle of the roadway. This has formed a trench slightly more than three- quarters of a mile long, about 25 ft. (7.6 m) below the street surface, with shoulders on the sides. Drivers heading to Delaware County or points north will access the trench after they exit the I-270/U.S. 23 Interchange. This is the first highway project in central Ohio to ever build a trench, and it has generated several questions from motorists
“The video animation is in response to dozens of inquiries from the motoring public.” Ferzan M. Ahmed ODOT
travelling through the project. In July, District 6 posted an animated video to the Web site showing the trench from several viewpoints, including from behind the wheel and from the air. “The video animation is in response to dozens of inquiries from the motoring public,” said ODOT District 6 Deputy Director Ferzan M. Ahmed. “Because the trench is a new concept
for many central Ohio drivers, we felt the video animation explaining how it will work when completed was the way to go.” To view the animation, visit the project Web site at www.270-23.com.
