The past year has been one of maturation and reflection for those involved with Accelerated Construction Technology Transfer (ACTT). As the Workshops at a Glance table in this report illustrates, five departments of transportation (DOTs) conducted ACTT workshops over the past year. What the table doesnt capture, however, is the informal efforts that are occurring as ACTT becomes standard operating practice at DOTs nationwide. Rather than rely on anecdotal evidence, FHWA is (1) focusing on documented events, and (2) asking DOTs across the country to capture all ACTT events for the coming year. Several DOTs have let projects that were analyzed using the ACTT process, and FHWAs Office of Asset Management has surveyed those agencies in order to capture successes and lessons learned for other DOTs. Those results, which are highlighted in this report, offer a glimpse of the many dividends this process yields, both for the transportation agencies involved and for the traveling public. The sidebar on the opposite page highlights another joint construction effort, the Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC) program. As this article demonstrates, FHWA and DOT staff across the country continue to seek out innovations in all aspects of their trade. / Availability Note: Product reproduced from digital image.
