Description
Wildlife crossing structures (WCSs), underpasses, and overpasses are widely used for the safe travel of larger wildlife species across roads and highways, reducing wildlife-related vehicle collisions to drivers. WCSs are often expensive to build and maintain, and therefore determining a cost-effective, optimal design is a challenge faced by departments of transportation across the United States and elsewhere. Although much research has been conducted...

Description
An examination of CDOT design procedures, blasting methods, blast calculations, and aesthetic considerations to specify best management practices for highway rock cut operations for the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) that could be followed when a Contractor or Permittee is proposing to blast. A method was developed to assign quantitative values for aesthetics, called the Percent Aesthetic Enhancement (PAE). By following the PAE practices,...

Description
This study determined the feasibility of using driven piles to stabilize highway embankment slopes. The activities performed under this study were a detailed literature review, a national survey of state DOTs, a review of inspection and stabilization mitigation reports, targeted field inspections, a cost comparison analysis, and a finite element study. The results of this study show that driven piles can be a cost-effective solution to stabilizing...

Description
Several years before the publication of the 1970 Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Divices (MUTD), the Colorado Division of Highways initiated field tests to investigate the relative brightness and durability of yellow and white paint stripes in the beaded and unbeaded condition and to determine the acceptability of partially-beaded centerlines. After the issuance of the 1970 edition of the Manual, the Division sought and received FHWA approval for...

Description
States' Departments of Transportation (DOT) are trying to utilize the best practices of managing low-volume roads (LVRs) due to limited resources and declined transportation funding. Diverse maintenance practices and fluctuating budget allocations are noticed on LVRs which significantly impact the overall pavement performance. In this study, the optimal scheduling of maintenance strategies and effectiveness of different maintenance policies are investigated....
