Construction of this two-and-a-quarter-mile-long oval track for the high-speed testing of emerging toll technologies, intelligent transportation systems and automated/connected vehicles required 1 million cu yd of earthwork and the construction of two 30-ft-high MSE retaining walls and two detention ponds to support the track. Making up the test track are two five-lane straightaways, two super-elevated oval curves and four non-accessible toll gantries. Contractor Bergeron Land Development was able to overcome 56 weather days and impacts from multiple hurricanes to complete the $46-million project 270 days ahead of schedule.
