Team Wins Top AASHTO Award for Saving $48 Million of Highway Section’s Life-Cycle Cost
The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) recently presented its 2009 Value Engineering Award to a team from the Wisconsin Dept. of Transportation (WisDOT) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) whose value engineering will cut $48 million from the life-cycle cost of 33 miles of Interstate 94 in south-central Wisconsin
I-94 is the busy Interstate that connects Milwaukee to Madison, Wis. The total length from city to city is about 79 miles. The award-winning WisDOT-FHWA value-engineering study focused on 33 miles from the western edge of Waukesha County to just east of Madison.
