This presentation will present the process of reconstructing a six-lane regional arterial in Coppell, Texas, and some of the innovations and tools applied to improve the project and lessen the impact on users. These include the re-evaluation and value engineering applied to the project at the 60% design completion; the use of drone technology to document project conditions before and during construction; and the use of crowd-sourced big traffic data to provide real-time delay and alternate route information to motorists and users (via social media and portable, changeable message signs). The presentation will also document some communication strategies used to inform stakeholders of the impending project and information gathered from motorists via online surveys.
