| 摘要： | ITE JOURNAL: What are some of the challenges you're helping to address as deputy design manager at the Oregon Department of Transportation's (DOT) Interstate Bridge Replacement program? MALLEM: The Interstate Bridge Replacement Program (IBRP) is a joint effort between the U.S. states of Oregon and Washington to replace the aging 1-5 Bridge over the Columbia River. This section of the Interstate provides a vital connection not only in the local program area, but also along the west coast of the United States. The existing bridge currently carries more than 143,000 vehicles per day, and celebrated its 105th birthday this past February. The current bridge also operates as a lift-bridge to provide clearance to the river traffic under the bridge. In my role as the deputy design manager on the program, I represent the Oregon and Washington DOTs. The program is currently working with partners on both sides of the Columbia River including two DOTs; Portland, OR and Vancouver, WA; the Ports of Portland and Vancouver; and the two metro areas to develop a multimodal solution that accommodates passenger, freight, transit, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic in the program area. The bridge is also located in an area rich with environmental, historic, and cultural resources that are important to our environment and heritage. As a relatively new member on this team, I continue to learn about these vital resources, community priorities, and partner preferences. I hope to use my previous experiences with community involvement and developing context-sensitive solutions to help design a project that successfully accommodates all modes of travel in an equitable manner. |
