What is PoCI
Projects of Corporate Interest Projects of Corporate Interest (PoCI) are deemed to be so significant that FHWA is willing to commit additional resources beyond those available in a single Division office to help ensure successful delivery of the project.
SLIDE 3 tHe Poci Project contd..
Project selection should be risk-based and stewardship and oversight activities should be directed toward addressing the identified
- risks. This may require retaining certain
project approval actions or directing stewardship and oversight activities to a specific phase or element of the project.

SR 520, I-5 to Medina: Bridge Replacement and HOV Project WA POCI-15008 Replace the SR 520 Evergreen Floating Bridge and east approach with a 6-lane facility which includes two HOV lanes. This Stage will also provide a connection to the west approach structure. The Evergreen Point Floating Bridge is vulnerable to wind and wave damage on Lake Washington and risks catastrophic failure if not replaced. SR 99: Alaskan Way Viaduct Replacement Project WA POCI-15009 Replace SR 99 from approximately South Royal Brougham Way to Roy Street with a tolled single bore tunnel with two lanes in each direction. Southbound lanes will be located on the top portion of the tunnel, and the northbound lanes will be located on the bottom. The bored tunnel will be designed to provide emergency access, evacuation routes, ventilation, and fire suppression systems in accordance with NFPA standards and other codes and regulations. The project will also remove the existing viaduct and will close and fill the existing Battery Street Tunnel.

PoDI Contd…..
Each Division Office (Division) should identify those projects, within its limited resources, where FHWA should assert a positive leadership influence to help assure a high level of public confidence that projects and programs are administered with integrity, are in compliance with applicable requirements, and yield maximum value for the public. Project selection will be risk-based and stewardship and oversight activities will be directed toward addressing identified risks.
