The Federal Highway Administration has granted $8.8 million to enhance highway and bridge infrastructure across eight states and D.C. through innovative projects. These awards, part of the Accelerated Innovation Deployment Demonstration program, aim to boost durability, safety, and asset management. Funded by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, these grants foster transportation innovation and improvement. Projects include: - Texas Department of Transportation's $1M grant will go to deploying traffic speed deflection device technology in some of the department’s districts. - Iowa Department of Transportation's $1M grant to use intelligent compaction and geospatial data collaboration tech to map the gravel road network of the state Learn more about other approved projects at: https://lnkd.in/gWVZV_UC #highway #bridgeinfrastructure #infrastructure #stivereng

GREAT article from Justin Franz and Railfan and Railroad Magazine: The map shows the current long-distance network overlaid with potential new routes. Some of those routes are ones that Amtrak had early on but later lost, like the North Coast Hiawatha (the subject of a grassroots effort in Montana to revive) and the Pioneer. But some routes have never had service in the Amtrak era, such as between Billings and Denver, a route that was last served in the 1960s by the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy’s Shoshone. Other notable city pairs that could be served by an expanded long-distance network include Flagstaff and Tucson, Ariz., Salt Lake City and Las Vegas, and Atlanta and Savannah, Ga. https://ow.ly/ybg050PqhEM
