Division Opportunities and Challenges

Division 14 Opportunities - ADHS

  • Appalachian Development Highway System

established by the Appalachian Regional Commission in the 1960’s.

  • Network of Highway Corridors to Create

Economic Opportunities and Jobs in Appalachia

  • Corridors A & K Left to Complete in NC
  • Corridor A – 7.5 Miles to Complete
  • Corridor K – 18.1 Miles to Complete
  • ADHS Funding in NC - $269M
  • 43.6% Work Outside the County (Clay & Graham)

Division Opportunities and Challenges

Division 14 Challenges - Modernization

11

It is important to understand the geographical features that effect all transportation in the mountainous areas of the state

  • Geographical Constraints create Maintenance and Construction Challenges
  • Modernization of Existing Routes are Extremely Costly
  • R-4753 - $ 9.25M/Mile to Improve 2-lane NC 107 – Adding Paved Shoulders
  • R-2822B - $ 3.1/Mile to Improve NC 143 – R-R-R Standards
  • R-5839 - $ 27.8/Mile to Improve NC 28 – R-R-R Standards
slide-12

Division Opportunities and Challenges

Division 14 Challenges - Modernization

12

  • Modernization of NHS Routes
  • Very Expensive to Modernize
  • Lack Paved Shoulders & Standard Guardrail
  • Inadequate Pavement Structure
  • Inadequate Auxiliary Lanes (Storage/Tapers)
  • Considered our “Best Routes” – Lack of Interest in Upgrades
  • Carry High AADT
  • $84 Million in Needs

Division Opportunities and Challenges

Division 14 Challenges – Rockfall/Slides/Floods

13

It is important to understand the geographical features that effect all transportation in the mountainous areas of the state

  • NC 28 Slide near Fontana Dam - $1.3 Million
  • US 129 Retaining Wall - $1.7 Million
  • Various Routes in Transylvania County - $600,000
  • Need to Repair Rockfall Protection on I-40 - $30,000
slide-14
SLIDE 14

Division Opportunities and Challenges

Division 14 Challenges - Terrain

  • Maintenance on Substandard Roadways/Bridges
  • Limited Area for Highway Workers to Perform Activities Safely
  • Equipment and Personnel have to Continually Reposition to Allow Safe Passage of

Traffic

  • Widths of Snowplows have to be Considered When Operating on Narrow Roads
  • Bridge Deck Overlays/Rehabilitation are Problematic
  • Resurfacing Can Exacerbate Shoulder Drop-offs

Summary – Keys to Success

15

  • Project Delivery in Division 14
  • Complete ADHS – A-0009 and A-0011C
  • Work with Agency Partners
  • Maintenance and Operations
  • Be Accountable
  • Work Safely – Traffic Control
  • Respond to Emergency Situations
  • Have Adequate Personnel and Equipment for Initial Response
  • Retain Subject Matter Experts to Provide Solutions
  • Utilize Contractors for Construction of Repairs
