| Abstract | As State departments of transportation (DOTs) work to reconstruct an aging national infrastructure, issues such as accelerated construction and doing more with existing revenue have become increasingly important to the Nation’s highway users. In the September 2005 report entitled ACTT Now (Publication No. FHWA-IF-05-039), the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) states, “Using ACTT [Accelerated Construction Technology Transfer], State departments of transportation are searching out innovative ways to shorten construction time and reduce project costs, oftentimes by as much as 30 percent or more. The result is that millions of dollars and years of disruption have been shaved off highway construction plans and projects.” It was these very issues that the Iowa DOT was looking to address when it approached FHWA about hosting an ACTT workshop for its Council Bluffs Interstate Systems (CBIS) Improvements Project. |
