摘要：	Accelerated Construction Technology Transfer (ACTT) is a strategic process that uses innovative techniques and technologies to reduce construction time on major highway projects while enhancing safety and improving quality. The process is implemented by conducting 2-day workshops for State Departments of Transportation (DOT). The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) jointly fund ACTT workshops. In November 2004, the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) hosted its second ACTT workshop, bringing together transportation professionals from around the Nation. The 82 attendees at the workshop included 29 national experts and 53 local subject matter experts, including the design consultant and representatives from NJDOT, the FHWA divisional offi ce, and other public agencies. The primary objective of the workshop was to draw on the expertise of participants to help NJDOT achieve its primary goal of minimizing construction time for its I-295/I-76/SR-42 interchange project while minimizing use of secondary roads during construction and maintaining the existing number of lanes from 5:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. The purpose of the $300 million project is to totally reconstruct the severely substandard interchange located southeast of Philadelphia. With over 250,000 vehicles going through this interchange daily, capacity is a principal reason for this undertaking. The absence of a direct connection forces through traffic from I-295 onto a series of ramps, where it mixes with traffic from other highway systems. As a result, the interchange ramp system experiences operational failures in many locations and has accident rates signifi cantly in excess of the statewide average. The project is arguably among the Nations most challenging, ranks among the most congested, and according to former Commissioner Jack Letteire, it is the most important for the region. The project is currently undergoing the NEPA process, which is to be completed in 2006. Construction is to begin in 2009. / Supplementary Notes: Prepared in cooperation with New Jersey Dept. of Transportation, Trenton. / Availability Note: Order this product from NTIS by: phone at 1-800-553-NTIS (U.S. customers); (703)605-6000 (other countries); fax at (703)605-6900; and email at orders@ntis.gov.
