TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) If the state strikes adeal to lease the Ohio Turnpike to privateinvestors, it also wants to make sure tollswill not soar like gas prices, Ohio’s trans-portation director said. State officials want any deal to include

caps on future tolls. Ohio Transportation Director Jerry Wray

on April 14 outlined a few more detailsabout what could happen with the turnpikewhile meeting with local officials in north-west Ohio. The state is willing to lease it but won’t

sell it outright, he said. And any money thatcomes from a deal would go right back intoimprovements such as highway constructionand harbor dredging, mainly in northernOhio.

Another option is putting the turnpikeunder the control of the Ohio Department ofTransportation instead of the current OhioTurnpike Commission, he told The Blade. “There is not a preferred option at this

point,” Wray said. “Leasing is the mosttalked about. We’re seeking the best long-term option for Ohio.” Critics of Gov. John Kasich’s proposal to

turn over the turnpike have warned such amove could lead to higher tolls on the 241-mi. route that cuts across northern Ohio andconnects Youngstown, Cleveland andToledo. Higher tolls also could end up push-ing more truck traffic onto routes that runalong the turnpike. That’s what happenedafter an 82 percent toll increase took fulleffect in 1999. The state later lowered tolls

and increased speeds to lure back truckers. Kasich raised the idea of leasing the turn-

pike just a few weeks after he was elected inNovember. He called the turnpike an underutilized

asset, but said early on that he wasn’t surewhether investors could be found given theeconomic climate. Kasich also said he probably wouldn’t

approve any deal worth less than $2.5 bil-lion. The governor’s proposed budget allows

the transportation department and budgetoffice to negotiate and enter a turnpike leasewith a private operator. Wray said severalpotential bidders have asked about takingover turnpike concessions if that’s openedup.

A private turnpike operator, Wray said,could end up installing automated fare col-lection machines, eliminating the jobs ofunionized toll workers. The idea of leasing the turnpike was met

with mixed reaction from northwest Ohioofficials. James Carter, president of the Wood

County commissioners, had doubts onwhether the state would follow through withpromises about where the money would gobecause of past broken promises. “I want to hear more,” he said. The idea is worth looking at, said Tony

Reams, executive director of the ToledoMetropolitan Area Council of Governments. “You can’t ignore it,” he said. “There’s an

opportunity here.”

Ohio Willing to Lease Turnpike, But Won’t Sell It to Investors

The SM 1200 Triflex is a two-deck star screen capable ofcreating three fractions from organic source material, evenwith very high moisture content. The high-volume, preciseseparation capability of the Triflex offers enhanced screeningperformance to operations that have highly demandingscreening needs, according to the manufacturer.As with the SM star screen insert, Triflex functionality is

based on the parallel rotation of the stars on each deck toloosen and transport material across the screen. Doppstadt’salternating shaft speeds provide an additional degree of agi-tation, which further tears and separates the material. Thisdelivers advanced performance and productivity even withhigh-moisture-content material. The effective opening ofeither deck can be changed on the fly using the adjustableshaft speed controls.With its large 140 sq. ft. (13 sq m) of screening surface,

the Triflex can achieve high rates of output, while deliveringconsistent products. For even greater separation capability,

the Triflex can be fitted with optional wind sifters over bothdecks, magnetic separation and additional star deck or tip-ping grid above the hopper.“We believe the introduction of the SM 1200 Triflex to the

U.S. market will be a game changer,” said Hugh Fagan,

DoppstadtUS sales director. “There really isn’t anothermachine that can compete on this scale, and it will provide alevel of screening capability that can completely change theeconomics of large-scale separation facilities.”For more information, visit www.doppstadtus.com.

JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. (AP) Final decisions aboutdesign changes in the $4.1 billion Ohio River BridgesProject, along with an evaluation about the impact of tolls,may take another year, people involved in the project said.But they insist construction on the new bridges is still set tobegin in August 2012. Tim Hagerty, a Louisville attorney representing

Kentucky and Indiana on environmental issues, said March30 that the work involved in a supplemental environmentalimpact report will be laid out in the coming weeks, accord-ing to The Courier-Journal of Louisville. The bridge project, a partnership between the Indiana

and Kentucky state transportation agencies started in 2003to improve transportation across the Ohio River, involvesconstructing two new bridge spans and rebuildingLouisville’s Kennedy Interchange, a web of intertwinedramps often referred to as “Spaghetti Junction.” The Louisville and Southern Indiana Bridges Authority,

the board that directs the project’s financing, said it is devel-oping a funding strategy for the projects. Recently proposed changes, including plans to scale

back lanes of a tunnel leading to an eastern span, could savethe authority $500 million, according to Gary Valentine, theKentucky Transportation Cabinet’s project manager. “The roadway and the tunnel [to the East End Bridge]

would be reduced from six lanes down to four lanes, but

constructed in a way that two more lanes can be added laterif the traffic volume warrants it,” Chuck Wolfe, spokesmanof the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, told theAssociated Press. “You would have shoulders, basically,wide enough to accommodate additional, two additionaltraffic lanes, if it gets to the point where they’re needed.” Authority members said at the meeting of the finance

and construction committee that they still need to studywhether to negotiate a traditional contract as opposed to apublic-private partnership before next August, the authori-ty’s target date for construction to start. “Most important thing [is] we’re on target for August

2012,” authority co-chair Kerry Stemler told reporters. The organization said it also will need a detailed traffic

analysis that isn’t yet available. Wilbur Smith Associates, aconsulting firm, has begun tracking traffic patterns at vari-ous times of day by taking photos of license plates. It alsois evaluating new socio-economic data. Those measureswill help the authority develop new tolling policies thatincrease revenue. The authority also notified the Federal Highway

Administration in early March that it will pursue a federalloan that could cover nearly $1.3 billion of the project’scost. The FHWA turned down the authority’s request for asimilar loan last year.

TRAC Approves $70M in New Transportation FundingThe Transportation Review Advisory

Council (TRAC) gave Ohio a shot in the armApril 12 as it approved $70 million for newtransportation projects that will boost theeconomy and improve safety on Ohio’sroads.TRAC — the independent council that

assists the Ohio Department ofTransportation (ODOT) in selecting itslargest investments — overwhelminglyvoted to approve funding for safety and eco-nomic development transportation projectsaround Ohio. The approved list of projectsends a year-long selection process.

“Today concluded an open and fair selec-tion process which delivered a final projectlist that will increase economic developmentand safety for Ohioans,” said ODOTDirector Jerry Wray, who also chairs theTRAC. “We had to make some difficultdecisions to keep the list within fiscal bal-ance while still keeping pace with our state’sgrowing transportation needs.”In addition to projects already under con-

struction, the list includes projects ready fornew construction and projects that will bestudied and designed for potential construc-tion in the future.

TRAC approved funding for two projectsexpected to bring economic development toOhio. The Pickaway East/West Connectorreceived $2.7 million for design and$800,000 went to the Mid-Ohio IntermodalFacility in Marion.Two safety projects to separate railroad

crossings from roadways with underpassesinclude $13.2 million for CR73/McCord Rd.near Toledo and $16.6 million for SR 58 inthe village of Wellington.Nearly $15 million was also approved for

the Mahoning Road Transit Corridor, whichwill add new transit service along SR 153 in

city of Canton. The second phase of the StateRoute 42 widening through the city ofStrongsville will also be completed with the$6 million in TRAC funds approved today.Last spring, local municipalities, county

commissioners and county engineers, metro-politan planning organizations, and portauthorities submitted applications for newconstruction investments as well as fundingfor new planning, design, and right of waywork to the TRAC. For more information on the final

approved TRAC list, visitwww.dot.state.oh.us.

Working to deliver the biggest bang for Ohio’s dollars, theOhio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is ready tobegin construction on nearly 700 projects statewide.“Ohioans deserve a reliable and predictable construction

program which provides them with the highest value fortheir investments,” said ODOT Director Jerry Wray. “Thisyear, we will deliver just that.”Of ODOT’s nearly 700 projects scheduled to begin this

year, 250 will be devoted to bridge maintenance and replace-ment, 200 to reconstruction and widening, and 150 topaving. Projects adding new lanes and general maintenanceprojects make up the difference.For a listing of projects taking place locally within the

eight-county region of ODOT District 1 which includesAllen, Defiance, Hancock, Hardin, Paulding, Putnam, VanWert and Wyandot counties go to:http://www.dot.state.oh.us/districts/D01/PlanningProgra

ms/Projects/Pages/ProjectListings.aspx.New this year, work will begin on two of the

Department’s largest-ever Design-Build projects — the I-90westbound Innerbelt Bridge in downtown Cleveland and theI-71/I-670 Interchange in downtown Columbus. While workis already underway on the I-90 bridge, construction will notbegin on the I-71/I-670 project until later this year.Design-Build projects are designed and constructed under

one contract speeding construction, lowering costs, improv-ing quality control, and lessening the impact on the travelingpublic.Around the state, work will continue on the I-71 Jeremiah

Morrow Bridge—Ohio’s tallest bridge—near Lebanon, theNelsonville Bypass, the I-75 Modernization Project throughdowntown Dayton, and the U.S 24 Fort-to-Port in Napoleonand near Toledo.Motorists should use caution as they navigate through the

hundreds of construction work zones this year. In a reportjust released by ODOT, data shows there were 5,038 crash-es in work zones last year resulting in 1,909 injuries and 12fatalities.For up-to-the-minute road conditions and details on high-

way construction projects in the state, visitwww.BuckeyeTraffic.org.
