ACTT Workshop: Oregon
Paving The Way

[Archived] Chapter 4: Conclusions

4.1. Key Items for Evaluation

As a direct result of ACTT, ODOT has identified several issues that it needs to address prior to proceeding with the I-5/I-405 project:

• Develop a strategy for full depth replacement of the concrete pavement.
• Do a full survey of the I-405 corridor and surrounding surface streets and structures.
• Conduct a comprehensive utilities survey and develop a utility map.
• Prepare an environmental assessment for the corridor.
• Do traffic condition modeling for existing, future and construction staged configurations.
• Conduct comprehensive non-destruction testing and analysis of pavement and life-cycle modeling.
• Develop a conceptual project design.
• Do a master-plan-type analysis of the I-405, I-5 and I-84 interconnect.
• Develop a master communications and public involvement plan.

4.2. Next Steps

ODOT and the I-405 project delivery team are in the process of addressing the above issues and will continue evaluating the recommendations from the skill set teams to determine their pertinence to the I-405 project. While ODOT may not have the opportunity to utilize all of the ideas put forth by the skill sets on this project, the agency already realizes that a number of the recommendations could be utilized on other ODOT projects.

As with other ACTT workshops, the input of national experts and local representatives has proven to be a valuable tool in project planning, innovation and success.
