摘要: |
Although anticipated as an extremely disruptive project, the reconstruction of Boston's Southeast Expressway when finished was considered by politicians and engineers alike as a model of how to reconstruct a major expressway while maintaining travel in the transportation corridor. The success of this reconstruction effort can be attributed to several factors discussed in this report. These factors included the development of a comprehensive corridor traffic management plan for both construction site and off-site locations, the extensive use of public information and media exposure, the use of flexible mitigation strategies which allowed the responsible agency to adjust the traffic management plan as additional experience was obtained, and the use of a task force to coordinate the numerous agency actions in plan implementation. The purpose of this report is to describe the corridor traffic management plan used by the Massachusetts Department of Public Works during the reconstruction of the Southeast Expressway. The response of the traveling public to the reconstruction project and to the corridor traffic management plan is also discussed. Chapter headings are as follows: executive summary; the Southeast Expressway reconstruction project; reconstruction impact on traffic volumes and travel times; fringe parking; rapid transit; commuter rail; express bus service; other modes (commuter boat and ridesharing); non-traffic elements of roadway service improvement; public information; aid to affected communities; user survey and travel pattern changes; program costs; and conclusions and recommendations. |
