Embracing Innovation: The I-84 Corridor Improvement Project. Idaho ACTT Workshop. Held in Boise, Idaho on February 13-15, 2007

摘要

The I-84 Corridor Improvements Project ACTT workshop took place February 13-15, 2007, at the Washington Group International Offices in Boise, Idaho. The ITD workshop followed the traditional ACTT process. On Wednesday morning, the ACTT management team discussed the brainstorming process with workshop attendees. The skill sets then broke apart to discuss the project and brainstorm preliminary ideas, reconvening before lunch to share initial thoughts. After lunch, the skill sets continued their work, intermingling with other teams to ask questions and share ideas. The teams spent the remainder of the afternoon preparing final recommendations for presentation to the group on Thursday morning. The I-84 Corridor Improvements Project consists of the sections of I-84 from the junction with SH-44 in Caldwell to Five Mile Road in Boise and from the Orchard Street Interchange to the Isaacs Canyon Interchange. The goal is to reconstruct these 22 miles, including the interchanges, as they are substandard and severely lacking capacity. Construction is slated to begin in the summer of 2007. ITDs goal is to reduce the construction timeframe from 12 to 6 years. Maintaining the existing number of lanes throughout construction will be the principal challenge.
