1. Intersection DesignSTH 32 and Chicory Road Presented By:
Chris LaBounty
2. Quick Project OverView JNC & Associates:
Team Members: James Simmons & Nick Spitzer
Mentors:
Tom Lazcano, E.I.T. & Bao Tran, P.E. (WisDOT)
Project Guidelines:
Existing: 4-lane undivided highway
Poor Accident Rate (130 collisions/4 yrs)
Poor Pavement – Needs to be Reconstructed
Request: 4-lane divided highway
Sufficient Volume till 2020
Design Speed: 45mph
3. Quick Project OverView (conT) Highway Charecteristics:
Intersection is Located in Mt. Pleasant, WI
in Racine County
6. Quick Project OverView (conT) Intersection is Located in Mt. Pleasant, WI
in Racine County
STH 32 is a Rural Arterial & Truck Route in SE WI
Next Intersection to N. of Chicory
Signalized and speed reduction to 35 mph
Next Intersection to S. of Chicory
Unsignalized, residential street
Chicory Rd. is an Industrial Heavy Side Street
8. Completed work Four Key Phases:
Volume & Crash Analysis [Blue]
Alternative Analysis [Grey]
Design [Red]
Cost Estimating [Green]
9. Completed Work (Cont.) Volume & Crash Conclusions:
Traffic Signals & Roundabout Warranted
Significant Queuing During RR Crossings
High Volume of Rear-end Collisions
High Volume of LT Angle Collisions
This is insufficient LT gaps
10. Completed Work (Cont.) Alternative Analysis Conclusions
12 Alternatives were Originally Considered
3 Ultimately Chosen for Preliminary Design, Preliminary Cost Estimates, & A Decision Matrix
Major Limiting Factors:
Cost
Proximity to R.R. Tracks (68’)
Proximity of Property on East side (34’)
Large Storage Volume Required During RR X-ing (8min)
11. Completed Work (Cont.) Alternatives Considered:
Michigan Left
Roundabout
Signalization & Turn Lanes*
12. Completed Work (Cont.)
13. Completed Work (Cont.) Design Process Discoveries:
LT Bay Requires 300’ of Storage
Minimum Median Width (4’)
Minimum Turn Lane Width (12’)
Typical Median Width (16’)
Shift Toward Track Still Allows For
Adequate ROW & Clear Zones.
No Modification of Chicory Road W. of RR
No C&G on Roadway Exterior
14. Completed Work (Cont.)
15. Completed Work (Cont.) Cost Estimate Discoveries:
Total Estimated Cost: $1,222,924
Critical Items:
8,312 sy of Pavement Removed ($38,021)
3,844 cy of Base Aggregate ($58,686)
3,800 ton of New Bituminous ($649,825)
1,414 sy of Concrete Median ($36,000)
1 new signal ($100,000)
