Expanding the #401 highway by two lanes on either side emerges as a cost-effective and feasible solution compared to a Doug Ford tunnel. The majority of the 401, excluding the section through North York, already boasts a freeway buffer suitable for approximately 2-lane expansion, as evidenced in the satellite imagery below. Utilizing the setbacks area & acquiring the edge of adjacent property along the 401 proves to be a far more economical approach than investing in a $5.5 billion tunnel. https://lnkd.in/gm7A67mA

Exciting news from the #ArcherWright Joint Venture! Over the weekend, we achieved a major milestone by transforming US-25 (Exit 44) in Fletcher, NC into the first phase of the new Divergent Diamond Interchange. The team's outstanding effort from planning to execution made this possible. A huge thank you to our AWJV team, subcontractors, suppliers, and the North Carolina Department Of Transportation for their hard work and dedication! • Diverging Diamond Interchanges, or DDIs, are safer, increase capacity, and provide better traffic flow. Crossovers gently transition traffic from the right side of the road to the left side of the road and then back again, while providing better access to the interstate. National studies show that DDIs are much safer, showing a 54% reduction of injury and fatal crashes after interchanges were switched to a diverging diamond. • The Walsh Group - Walsh Construction & Archer Western • #jointventure #divergingdiamond #interchange #infrastructure #heavycivil #thebiggreenw #WBbuildsNC #transportation #traffic #drone #video

Safety first and safety foremost where partnerships matter!

One for all of my fellow highways enthusiasts, I'm sure some you will love this video, most of you would have driven on these, some of you no doubt worked on them. Some interesting facts in here from the first bridge made entirely from iron to the longest single-span suspension bridge of its time. and there are some whoppers in here.

Check out footpath.ai's latest imagery release from Pymble, Gordon, and Killara areas in #Sydney #NSW. The #pedestrian map data automatically extracted from the images will be released and published on our map browser shortly. Let me know what applications/use cases you can think of using the imagery we collect and the map data we generate. Of course, #walkability analysis is our main focus, but we're interested in further exploring other applications such as shade mapping, POI detection, AR/VR-based navigation, etc.

#RoadSafety | In the 2nd of 3 analyses featured in our new Road Safety Playbook, City of Pittsburgh planners, working with Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), investigate intersection activity and other corridor conditions to prioritize #PedestrianSafety and #BikeSafety in their expedited rebuild of the collapsed Fern Hollow Bridge. See how they rebuilt the bridge in under 1 year AND added a new bike/walk path and protected bike lanes at the same time.
