T-WORKS UPDATE Currently almost 65% of T-Works has been completed since the
start of the program.
We have a pool of prioritized projects that are currently under development. Multiple factors, including emerging needs and available funding, play a part in determining which will be approved for future construction.
Similarly, we have a pool of prioritized bridge projects that are currently under development. Multiple factors, including emerging needs, progressing bridge condition and available funding, play a part in determining which will be approved for future construction.

POST T-WORKS
Local Consult
Meetings held last fall.
Needs will continue to be identified through next year with
additional Local Consult Meetings in late 2016.
Development of a new program will begin in the near
future.
Initial plans are to develop a multiyear program to follow
the completion of T-Works.
CURRENT INITIATIVES - 3D CADD
Transition to 3D Modeling to start later this year.
Phase 1 - 3D Analysis and Implementation Plan.
Funding has be secured and this phase is scheduled to be completed Spring
2016.
Additional Phases to follow dependent on funding with full
implementation within 2-3 years after completion of Phase 1.
Future BSGS direction could include.
Modeling the bridge structure and bridge berms for inclusion in the
overall 3D project model.
The occasional development of a 3D PDF detail model to clarify
complex 2D plan details for fabricators and field construction staff.
CURRENT ISSUES - ASBESTOS
EPA issued a regulatory interpretation of the Asbestos
NESHAP as it applies to concrete bridges in 2014.
Applies to the demolition, reconstruction, rehabilitation, or
deck repairs of existing span bridges.
Asbestos containing materials (ACM) is defined as material
containing more than 1% asbestos.
Bridge concrete is considered Category II non-friable AMC if it
contains more than one percent asbestos.
Special Provision and testing protocol currently being
developed.
CURRENT ISSUES – 23 CFR 625
FHWA requested comments in June on a proposed revision to
design standards and standard specification that applies to work
on the National Highway System. Comments are currently
under review.
Will replace the current reference to AASHTO LRFD Bridge design
Specification, First Edition 1994 with the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design
Specification, 7th Edition, 2014.
Will replace the current reference to Standard Specification for Structural
Supports for Highway Signs, Luminaries and Traffic Signals, 1994 with the
Standard Specification for Structural Supports for Highway Signs,
Luminaries and Traffic Signals, 6th Edition, 2013.
Currently reviewing BSGS standards.
