This team focused on design solutions for interchanges along Red Bank Expressway in order to reduce existing delays and accomodate future increase of traffic. Using a simulation program, the group was able to compare multiple design alternatives. Taking into consideration land use requirements, cost, pedestrian movements and community pride, the team detailed and analyzed two possibilities of interchange design: tight diamond and roundabout. Delays and levels of service were computed for both alternatives. Also, the SWOT analysis of each alternative resulted in the identification of strenghts, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of each proposed solution. Back to all Engineering Work on the MLK/Madison Corridor. Back to all Great Streets and Gateways projects. |
