SALT LAKE CITY'S $1.5B DESIGN/BUILD HIGHWAY PROJECT INCORPORATES $70M ATMS SYSTEM

A 17 mile segment of I-15 in Salt Lake City, Utah is being designed and widened from 6 through lanes to 10 lanes, including HOV lanes, right through the heart of the CBD. At a cost of $1.5B, it is the largest such design/build and public works project in the USA, and is the first time a reconstruction project of this scale has been done through the middle of a major metropolitan area. The contractor was selected during the spring of 1997, and the project is scheduled to be completed by October, 2001, prior to the 2002 Olympics, which will be held in Salt Lake City. This paper discusses the process and progress of the USA's largest design/build and largest public works project, and how a regionwide ATMS system was implemented as an integral part of the more massive design/build project.
