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 (DOTs). The American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) jointly fund ACTT workshops. In September 2004, the Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) hosted a workshop that brought together transportation professionals from around the Nation. The primary objective of the workshop was to draw on the expertise of participants to help WYDOT achieve its goal of minimizing construction time for its US-287/26, between Moran Junction and Dubois. The $100 million project is to reconstruct this 37-mile stretch of the highway to upgrade to a super-two facility with passing lanes. The primary project challenge is to complete the project under traffic while minimizing socioeconomic, environmental, and wildlife impacts. |
