Historic Flooding Hits Midwest
By Lori Tobias CEG CORRESPONDENT
The community of Spencer, Iowa, thought it was ready for what the Little Sioux River threatened — about 17 to 18 ft. But then the river gauge became submerged and went offline, and the rising flood waters hit with little warning.
“The Ocheyedan River joins the Little Sioux River just slightly south of town,” said Dan Gifford, city manager of Spencer. “Both of those were at record levels. I think our previous record was set in 1953 at 21 feet, and this went over top that by a foot. So, it was a foot higher than the 500-year predicted flood level. A person that’s familiar with disaster and has worked with the state of Iowa in the upper level of the National Guard with many, many disasters in the

ARTBA: Recent Construction Activity Reaches Record $16.4B
By Lucy Perry CEG CORRESPONDENT
Two and a half years after the signing of the Infrastructure and Jobs Act, the grading for results is mixed.
Some say the bipartisan IIJA will advance the nation’s infrastructure industry for decades to come. Others say like commuter traffic it’s moving way too slowly to see much difference over 24-plus months. How long will it take to see measurable progress? As usual, it depends on whom you ask.
State transportation agencies have put thousands of skilled craft laborers to work on new bridge and highway projects. Yet electric car owners are still waiting on promised charging stations dotting the interstate landscape.
And the expansion of affordable, reliable broadband Internet service that President Joe Biden envisioned has not come to pass just yet.
According to a Scripps News Service report, nearly $500 billion in federal funding was earmarked to support more than 57,000 projects nationwide.
“But we’re just starting to see what the full impact of that law will be,” wrote Stephanie Liebergen in the June update.
Alison Black, ARTBA chief economist, believes the bill’s impact is actually widespread.
“We’ll see over the longer run improved mobility, better access across freight corridors,” said Black.
She believes we’ll also see “improvements to our economy and quality of life as our infrastructure network is improved.”
WhatÊs Happening Now
Leaving control over how to allocate infrastructure funds up to the states, the fed has tracked the biggest single investment up to this summer in Baltimore, Md.
There, the Baltimore and Potomac tunnel, at 150 years old hosting nine million Amtrak passengers yearly, will be replaced at a cost of more than $4.7 billion.
The tunnel’s construction means thousands of good jobs and a boost to the American economy.
“Those workers [go] out. They’re going to get coffee. They’re buying meals. They’re purchasing clothing. That creates a ripple effect,” said Black. “And then longer term, as these infrastructure improvements are completed, you have the increased mobility.”
That mobility makes it easier for freight traffic to move, she said, “and those things help reduce costs for the American consumer and improve our quality of life.”
Liebergen believes Americans will soon start to see construction projects reach com-
pletion and new ones launch.
Black believes IIJA is more like a minimum initial investment in infrastructure, and Congress will have to decide whether to keep up the spending.
If spending is an indication, though, the industry is doing just that. ARTBA reported in April construction activity reached a record $16.4 billion.
That’s up from $14.4 billion the same time last year. The activity is driven by federal, state and local governments, according to the transportation association.
“Year-to-date work on highways was up 21 percent, while bridge work jumped 20 percent compared to the same time period last year,” ARTBA reported.
The association said current market activity, or the put-in-place construction value, monitors work completed monthly on a project, regardless of project size.
“As projects funded by IIJA are put out to bid and contractors start to work, the value of construction and overall market activity has also increased,” said ARTBA.
In June, the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee got a status report on IIJA permitting, discretionary grants and new programs.
Shailen Bhatt, FHWA administrator, testified that permitting timelines for projects are improving. He committed to accepting comment and feedback from industry on issues with the Buy America Manufactured Waiver process.
He also committed to updating on IIJA’s mandate to evaluate how and what types of
share of IIJA funds for intercity rail are concentrated on Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor. It considers the region “a reasonable choice, given the preponderance of passengers located between Boston and Washington.”
But “the high cost … limits the opportunities for service improvements. Instead, Amtrak will be largely treading water,” believes CATO.
The institute tracked the biggest IIJAfunded Amtrak project, which replaces infrastructure connecting New York and northern New Jersey.
In addition to the Baltimore Potomac job, the project includes a tunnel under the Hudson River and a bridge over the Hackensack River, both dating to 1910.
“These two projects will last well into the 2030s … and will cost $23 billion [before overruns],” noted CATO. “Once done, they will provide important reliability benefits but only minimal travel time improvements for those using Acela to get from New York to Washington.”
The institute said Amtrak service could deteriorate while passengers wait for completion of these projects.
vehicles put the most wear and tear on roads. ARTBA said that because reauthorization of surface transportation programs will begin in earnest next year, assessing program status and progress are crucial.
Why Is Progress So Slow?
The CATO organization maintains that after two years, IIJA has yet to impress beyond road and bridge projects.
The think tank said news reports have exposed two glaring IIJA implementation shortfalls: broadband expansion and EV charging infrastructure.
“Although the IIJA included $42.5 billion for rural broadband, these funds have yet to add any high-speed Internet service to the nation’s countryside,” said CATO. “And $7.5 billion allocated to electrical vehicle charging infrastructure has produced only eight federally funded charging stations to date.
The organization said slow progress has been attributed to complex requirements for grantees and the Buy America requirements.
Also affecting these initiatives are preferences for unionized employees and those who have been involved with the justice system.
“These factors, along with general inflation, are also impacting transit and rail projects championed by IIJA supporters,” said CATO. “Some of these projects may never materialize, while others will take a decade or more to complete while serving only a limited number of passengers.”
The organization notes that the largest
“In June 2024, New York area passengers got a taste of what may be ahead as Amtrak service was repeatedly disrupted due to power issues.”
CATO believes that rail and bus passengers will likely see little in the way of new travel options or speed improvements over the next five years.
“Once all the money has been spent [by around 2040], it is safe to predict only a small number of new passengers will be lured away from cars and planes.”
The Eno Center for Transportation, another think tank, said just because the funds are earmarked doesn’t mean the money will instantly flow into the economy.
“It should not surprise anyone that the federal-aid highway program has put its IIJA funding increase to work more quickly than other modes,” said Eno. “The main program account, from the Highway Trust Fund, went from $45.4 billion in 2021 to $56.2 billion in 2022 and $56.7 billion in 2023.”
That equates to a rate 25 percent higher than pre-IIJA obligations of 2021, noted the think tank.
And while the IIJA provided a 31.5 percent increase in new HTF contract authority for mass transit and bus grants, the increase has not fully been felt, yet.
“New obligations in that account for 2023 were only 6 percent higher than the pre-IIJA 2021 year,” noted Eno.
The think tank chalks it up to the fact that so much COVID aid was channeled to transit that providers are spending their use-it-or-

USACE, Ill., Mich. Move Forward On Brandon Road Interbasin
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Rock Island District, and the states of Illinois and Michigan signed a project partnership agreement for the Brandon Road Interbasin Project, moving the project forward into construction phase. This milestone agreement allows $274 million in federal funding, including $226 million provided by President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and $114 million in state funding to be used for construction of the first of three construction increments of the $1.15 billion project designed to prevent the upstream movement of aquatic nuisance species into the Great Lakes.
“The USACE Rock Island District has been working diligently with our partners in the states of Illinois and Michigan to move this critical project forward,” said Rock Island District Commander, Col. Aaron Williams. “We are excited to be entering this next phase of the project and are committed to preventing the upstream movement of invasive carp and other aquatic nuisance species into the Great Lakes.”
Brandon Rock Lock and Dam site to prevent upstream movement of invasive carp and other aquatic nuisance species on the Illinois Waterway.
Brandon Road Lock and Dam near Joliet, Ill., has been identified as the critical pinch point where layered technologies could be used to stop invasive carp populations from moving into the Great Lakes. If they become established in the Great Lakes, invasive carp could outcompete native species and greatly harm the ecosystems of the entire Great Lakes region and its more than $20 billion fishing and boating industries. The Brandon Road Interbasin Project will implement a complex series of innovative deterrents at the
“Our multi-agency team of scientists and engineers has worked tirelessly over the last three years in combination with external stakeholders to design what we believe is an effective solution for protecting the Great Lakes watershed,” said Scott Whitney, BRIP project manager of the USACE Rock Island District.
“Protecting the Great Lakes has always been and will always be a priority for the state of Illinois and after many years of this project eluding multiple administrations, I am thrilled to see it move forward. I want to thank our partners
at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the state of Michigan as well as our team in the governor’s office and at DNR for their years of work on this extraordinarily complex endeavor,” said Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker. “Protecting the Great Lakes is not an undertaking that any one state or city can tackle alone, and I’m thrilled that we were able to forge a path that protects both the Great Lakes and ensures Illinois taxpayers do not shoulder a disproportionate share of the burden.”
“Today’s agreement will help us get shovels in the ground as soon as possible on the critical Brandon Road project,” said Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. “The Great Lakes are the beating heart of Michigan’s economy, and Brandon Road will help us protect local communities and key industries, including fishing and boating, that support tens of thousands of good-paying jobs.
I am grateful to Governor Pritzker of Illinois, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers — especially the Rock Island District — and our congressional partners for their long-term support and partnership on this monumental task. Together, we will get the job done so we can protect our lakes and power economic growth for generations to come."
With the project partnership agreement signed, contracts for fabrication, continued design, leading edged deterrents and bedrock removal are now slated for solicitation in the coming weeks. Interested contractors can visit the website listed below for additional details.

Ignite Attachments Launches New Mini Grapple Lineup
Ignite Attachments, a manufacturer of compact equipment attachments, adds to its growing lineup of direct-toyou products with three new mini grapple offerings.
The new mini bucket, mini rock and mini rake grapples are available in 36- and 44-in. working widths. An innovative dual interface ensures easy, hassle-free paring with any brand of mini track loader making this an ideal solution for rental centers and mixed-fleet landscape operations.
The new attachments continue Ignite’s tradition of durable, costeffective grapple solutions, providing high-quality workmanship, smart engineering and ideal performance, according to the manufacturer.
“When it comes to working in the tightest spots, more and more people are turning to mini track loaders or skid steers,” said Trisha Pearson, business director of Ignite Attachments.
“Ignite Attachments works to meet owners/operators where they are, not the pigeonhole our stagnant industry tries to put them in. We recognize the need for cost-effective mini solutions that are dependable, versatile and easy to use.”
Mini Bucket Grapple
Like the company’s line of full-size grapples, the mini bucket grapple, and others in the new offering, feature a laser-cut Grade 50 steel design. This results in a tighter fitting attachment with a long service life. The mini bucket grapple strikes a balance between weight and strength, allowing operators to lift more and do more.
With a grapple opening of 26.6 in. and a minimum height of 22.1 in., the Ignite mini bucket grapple easily maneuvers in tight spaces. An innovative design puts the single 2.25-in. bore by 1-in. rod cylinder behind the
bucket, rather than on top, for complete protection even in the most demanding applications.
Combined with standard Faster flat-faced couplers and full-length nylon hose sleeves, this unique design feature minimizes unnecessary downtime and ensures a long service life, according to the manufacturer.
Mini Rock Grapple
The mini rock grapple features many of the same base benefits. This includes Ignite’s exclusive dual interface. These brand-agnostic attachments easily pair with both mini Bob-Tach and CII machines due to a unique faceplate design,
allowing for seamless integration with mixed fleets or new carrier investments.
The grapple opening on this offering is 25.9 in. with a tine spacing of 3 in. for effective rock and debris removal.
Mini Rake Grapple
The mini rake grapple features slightly wider tine spacing, 6.75 in. on the 36-in. model, which allows operators to remove debris with less soil disturbance. It offers a 36-in. grapple opening.
Greaseable pins and heavy-duty cylinder protection minimize downtime and offer increased service life in a wide range of applications.
“Compact equipment owners and operators are constantly looking for easier, more cost-effective ways to get the job done,” Pearson said. “Our lineup of mini grapples are reliable, cost-smart and productive no matter your carrier brand. They’re designed to stand up to the toughest challenges and, when they outlast your existing machine, they’ll easily transfer to your new model.”
The Ignite Edge
Ignite Attachments offers qualitydesigned and -manufactured tools that are easy to purchase, attach and use. In today’s fast-paced, connected economy, Ignite offers a reliable, cost-effective solution for compact equipment operators of any brand. Online ordering and direct shipping allow customers to shop confidently and on their schedule. Ignite backs every attachment with a comprehensive warranty and excellent customer support, ensuring customers can rely on their tools for years to come, the manufacturer said.

Missouri Officials Break Ground On Historic Improve I-70 Project in Columbia
Gov. Mike Parson kicked off the first project within Missouri's Improve I-70 Program with an official groundbreaking ceremony in Columbia June 13.
Parson joined federal, state and local elected officials along with members of the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission and its design-build contractor team to break ground on Project #1: Columbia to Kingdom City.
“Today’s groundbreaking is a momentous occasion not only because we’re kicking off our historic Improve I-70 project, but it’s a culmination of the bold infrastructure initiatives we’ve prioritized since day one,” Parson said. “I-70 is one of Missouri’s oldest and most vital corridors. The safety and economic prosperity of Missourians depend on an interstate that grows along with the state and nation. Expanding I-70 to six lanes has been talked about in Jefferson City for decades, but our administration, in working with Senator Lincoln Hough and the General Assembly, is taking action and getting it done. We could not be more proud that the work we’re commemorating here today will continue serving Missourians for generations to come.”
“Today’s I-70 groundbreaking kicks off a historic, once-in-a-generation investment that will benefit Missouri businesses, commuters and tourists alike for decades to come,” Sen. Lincoln Hough, Missouri Senate appropriations chair, said. “I was happy to lead this project’s development in the
General Assembly and work with Governor Parson to lead the nation in large scale infrastructure development. Expanding I-70 to six lanes has been needed for decades. It has been talked about for decades. Today, decades of talk turns to action. This project is proinfrastructure, pro-business, pro-jobs, and, above all, pro-Missouri. We thank Governor Parson for being a leader in strengthening Missouri’s infrastructure as we look forward to continuing the strong foundation he has built on behalf of all Missourians.”
Missouri’s FY2024 budget from the General Assembly, signed into law by Parson, provides $2.8 billion in general revenue for the costs to build a third lane in each direction on nearly 200 mi.
of I-70, from Blue Springs to Wentzville. This first project, Improve I-70: Columbia to Kingdom City, is a $405 million fixed-cost contract that will add an additional lane to I-70 in each direction between U.S. Route 63 in Columbia and Route 54 in Kingdom City. The project also incorporates $123 million in previously programmed MoDOT projects to improve the I-70 interchanges at both Route 63 and Route 54.
“Thank you to the Governor and the General Assembly for their support in of this generational investment of I-70 for Missouri’s future,” said Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission Chairman W. Dustin Boatwright. “Today’s event in Columbia is just the first step to transform I-70 across the state. While we celebrate today, we are actively working on the next bid package, and we look forward completion of the entire I70 corridor by late 2030.”
The planned improvements for Project#1: Columbia to Kingdom City from the design-build contractor Millstone Weber and its designer Jacobs Inc. also include new concrete pavement on all three lanes of I-70 in each direction of the project. Additionally, throughout construction two lanes of travel will be available in both directions of I-70 during peak hours. Construction of this project is set to begin in July 2024 with an anticipated completion in late 2027.

Kansas Receives Nearly $45.3M in RAISE Grants for Four Infrastructure Projects
Gov. Laura Kelly announced July 1 that four Kansas infrastructure projects are receiving nearly $45.3 million from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) discretionary grant program. RAISE grants support road, rail, transit and port projects nationwide.
“I am pleased that Kansas communities have captured federal dollars to advance these important projects to benefit their residents and strengthen their communities,” Kelly said. “Capitalizing on these federal grant opportunities improves the safety of our roads, trails and bridges.”
One project that received RAISE funding is the Kansas Department of Transportation’s (KDOT) Canal Route Modernization Study.
“The RAISE grant is a way for communities, large and small, to address transportation infrastructure by leveraging local investment to capture federal dollars,” Kansas Secretary of Transportation Calvin Reed said. “RAISE also provides the opportunity for KDOT to advance plan activities, as is the case with the Canal Route Modernization Study, that will position future investment in critical Kansas infrastructure. Congratulations to the awarded communities.”
KDOT was awarded $1.6 million to assist the agency in developing transportation design options, with community input, for infrastructure replacement along a 5.5-mi. segment of I-135. The study area includes 53 bridges — two of which
are the largest in Kansas; two interchanges; and four pedestrian bridges. It connects to I-35 and the I-235 bypass and carries more than 87,000 vehicles daily.
Three of the RAISE awardees received no-cost technical assistance with their grant application from the Kansas Infrastructure Hub (Hub). Formed in 2022, the Hub connects multiple state agencies and serves as a resource center for Kansas communities to identify best practices for maximizing Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) funding opportunities.
“Connecting communities with funding available through BIL and providing assistance in developing grant applications is a vital part of the Kansas Infrastructure Hub’s work,” said Matt Volz, Hub executive director. “We are delighted the hard work of these communities is paying off by providing
“Capitalizing on these federal grant opportunities improves the safety of our roads, trails and bridges.”

infrastructure investments and improvements.”
The three projects that were awarded RAISE grants and received assistance from the Hub are:
Countywide Trails Planning and Design: Coffey County, $2,645,000.
This project will aid Coffey County in planning and designing about 47 mi. of a multi-use trail system within six communities. The trail will provide a safe transportation option for non-motorized and vulnerable users that can provide environmental sustainability and economic benefits through increased tourism.
Road Repair and Rehabilitation Project: Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation, $16,021,301.
This project will improve approximately 14 mi. of roadway within the boundaries of the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation and construct approximately 2.5 mi. of walking trails. Road improvements will focus on pavement, drainage, adding shoulders and signage.
Pathways for Progress: city of Topeka, $25,000,000.
This project will assist the city of Topeka in constructing about 50 mi. of new or improved sidewalks compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. The project will improve pedestrian access to daily destinations and local bus routes, fill gaps and improve deficiencies in the pedestrian network.
Congress has dedicated nearly $14.3 billion for 15 rounds of National Infrastructure Investments to fund projects that have a significant local or regional impact. For more information, visit transportation.gov/RAISEgrants.

When Accuracy Matters Most: Grade Indication Tech
By Luke Hill SPECIAL TO CEG
Technology is changing the way operators complete their work.
The latest equipment models can come equipped with polished yet practical features such as rear-view cameras, high-definition screens, sensors, telematics and autonomous control. These features not only improve accuracy and operator control but also reduce downtime — keeping your team productive and protecting your bottom line.
Depth check technology is no exception. Investing in this type of technology for your next compact excavator purchase can pay dividends in the long run. Its efficacy is proven throughout a variety of applications.
Bobcat digs deeper into why today’s groundbreakers are embracing grade indication technology for their compact excavators.
Productivity
Grade indication technology like Bobcat’s Depth Check System eliminates the need for operators to exit the compact excavator cab to manually check the grade or depth.
Leveraging the capabilities of a Depth Check System improves the productivity of your team by keeping them in the cab and focused on the task at hand. It also eliminates the need for another individual to be onsite. The “grade stake” worker would now be available to operate a different machine on the same job site or tackling another task and driving revenue
for the business.
Additionally, Depth Check technology improves machine productivity overall for your compact excavator. Tasks such as trenching for utility lines, digging basements or placing drainage ditches can be performed with improved ease, speed and effectiveness. This type of consistency reduces the time associated with backfilling, compacting fill material or manual labor to finalize a job site depth or grade.
Precision
The intuitive technology of Depth Check system uses sensors that detect the position of the bucket’s teeth or cutting edge, allowing operators to set their desired dig depth and work against the benchmark. When an operator approaches grade point, audible alerts signal target depths or notify them that they’ve gone too far.
Bobcat’s E32-E88 compact excavator models can be equipped with the optional Bobcat Depth Check System technology — making the machines even more versatile, valuable and efficient than before.
Precision and accuracy are important on every job site, but this is especially true if a new operator on your team has had limited hours in the cab. There is undoubtedly a learning curve when it comes to managing and maneuvering construction equipment.
Advanced technology systems like Depth Check can prove beneficial for both new and seasoned operators to improve accuracy on the job and prevent
rework from under- or over-digging.
Peace of Mind
Operators may find themselves in work environments that are uniquely challenging and complex — from working around water lines and fiber optic cables to busy roadways and bridges where every machine movement requires accurate calculation and control.
Investing in Depth Check technology empowers operators to make more informed decisions during their dig, adjust or reposition as needed to avoid mistakes that lead to additional work and costs of correcting mistakes.
When used correctly, technology can be a major asset to your fleet of equipment — especially your compact excavators. At Bobcat, Depth Check technology is available for E32-E88 compact excavators — both short and long arm models — and can be installed on the machine through a dealership at any time.
Bobcat E48E88 compact excavator models come Depth Check ready where mounting provisions for the sensors are provided as standard equipment. This makes the installation quicker and more affordable for the end user, according to the manufacturer.
Digging, trenching and grading with accuracy is difficult work that requires an incredible amount of attention and care, and utilizing Depth Check technology is one way to make the job easier on your operator and more profitable for your business.

Gilbane Manages Early Excavation Work at Intel Site
was tapped to design and build Phase One of the project, which, according to an early news release, totals 2.5 million sq. ft. of facility, including 600,000 sq. ft. of cleanrooms.
INTEL from page 1
“It's a commitment to revitalizing local economies, creating high-quality jobs and positioning the region as a leader in innovation and manufacturing for the future.”
The factories, also known as fabs, are being built on a greenfield site on nearly 1,000 acres of land. Using local labor, the facilities will produce silicon chips, some of the smallest, most complex technologies in the world.
Intel broke ground at the New Albany site in September 2022. President Joe Biden delivered remarks on rebuilding American manufacturing through the CHIPS and Science Act and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine and state and local officials also took part in the event, which celebrated the company’s newest United States’ site in more than 40 years.
As the largest single private-sector investment in Ohio history, the initial phase of the project is expected to create 3,000 Intel jobs; 7,000 construction jobs over the course of the build; and support tens of thousands of additional local long-term jobs.
To support the development of the new site, Intel pledged an additional $100 million toward partnerships with educational institutions to build a pipeline of talent and support research programs in the region.
Building the two factories is a significant challenge, because of their complexity. To overcome hurdles, project leaders have focused on extensive planning, effective communication and leveraging expertise.
The first year of construction has been dedicated primarily to site preparation. To date, more than four million cu. yds. of earth has been moved — the equivalent of 248,000 dump truck loads. Crews have also installed 10 mi. of underground utilities and 32 mi. of conduit.
Workers continue to build out the new
fabs above-ground utility level and will be receiving superloads (extremely large truck loads of manufacturing equipment) that will travel from Manchester in Adams County to the Intel Ohio One campus.
Gilbane Building Co. was selected to manage early excavation work. Bechtel was tapped to design and build Phase One of the project, which, according to an early news release, totals 2.5 million sq. ft. of facility, including 600 thousand sq. ft. of cleanrooms.
“Bechtel is proud to work with Intel and the people of Ohio to reclaim U.S. semiconductor manufacturing,” said Catherine Hunt Ryan, president of Bechtel’s Manufacturing and Technology business. “A project of this complexity and magnitude — with an outsized impact on the community and economy — is the type of work Bechtel is unique-

ly positioned to deliver. We are honored to be chosen by Intel as its partner, and we are ready to build their most advanced semiconductor facilities in the world.”
Officials noted that sustainability plays a key role during construction. Intel has committed to reaching 100 percent renewable electricity, net positive water and zero waste to landfill by 2030.
At many of Intel’s sites, rotary concentrator thermal oxidizers are used to remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The emissions stream is preheated before it enters the combustion chamber of the thermal oxidizer, which also uses a pre-filter to prevent particles from impeding the oxidizer’s ability to absorb VOCs while increasing energy efficiency to reduce natural gas use and associated emissions. The new facilities
in Ohio will use similar abatement equipment to reduce emissions in accordance with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Ohio EPA requirements.
While there’s no official date for the factories to become operational, Intel is monitoring construction, which is fulfilling on many different levels.
“Seeing the progress of our Ohio construction is very rewarding,” said Smith. “Each beam laid and each structure erected symbolizes not just bricks and mortar, but dreams taking shape. We’re not just building in Ohio, we’re sculpting the future in the Silicon Heartland. As we contribute to the dynamic landscape of technological advancement, we know every step forward is a testament to our commitment to shaping tomorrow.”

Building, Repairing Infrastructure...
Officials Announce $41B Multi-Year Plan, Largest in Illinois State History
Gov. JB Pritzker and the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) joined state and local officials June 14 to announce the largest multi-year program to build and repair infrastructure in state history: $41.42 billion over six years, spread across all modes of transportation and touching every Illinois county.
The new program eclipses the previous record set last year and continues the momentum of the governor’s bipartisan Rebuild Illinois capital program. The program aims to modernize our transportation system and create economic opportunity while improving safety, mobility and quality of life throughout the state.
“Rebuild Illinois has been among my highest priorities since I became governor, after years of neglect and disinvestment that held back our state’s growth,” said Pritzker. “Over the next six years — stretching all the way to FY 2030 — we will continue making historic investments into improving every aspect of our infrastructure and in every part of our state. This plan is guiding the build-out of a world-class transportation system that all of Illinois deserves, and we are creating hundreds of thousands of quality jobs while doing it.”
“By investing in our roads, bridges, public transit and ports, we are unlocking opportunities, connecting residents to jobs and essential services, and building a stronger future for our state,” said Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton. “This plan puts the needs of Illinoisans at the forefront, ensuring that every corner of Illinois will benefit from these transformative investments for generations to come.”
Building on previous Pritzker Administration efforts, IDOT’s new multi-year program is both comprehensive and multimodal, with investments in roads and bridges, aviation, transit, freight and passenger rail, waterways, as well as bicycle and pedestrian accommodations.
The Fiscal Year 2025-30 Proposed Highway and Multimodal Improvement Program [TG1] will invest $29.65 billion in state roads and bridges, with $5.3 billion identified for the current fiscal year. A total of $11.77 billion is programmed for other modes, which includes $7.5 billion for transit, $2.54 billion for freight and passenger rail, $1.57 billion for aviation, and $160 million for ports and water-
ways. in all 102 counties in the state. Projects are across state and local transportation systems in all 102 counties in the state.
The record $41.42 billion multi-year program is due in part to engineering and planning efforts in the early years of Rebuild Illinois and the passage of the federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021, fueling increased construction activity. The previous record amount was $40.99 billion in 2023.
On the highways side, the program will build or improve 3,214 mi. of roads and 8.8 million sq. ft. of bridge deck on the state system, with anticipated funding maintaining 843 mi. of roads and more than 1 million sq. ft. of bridge deck overseen by local governments.
Pritzker announced the new program in McCook to highlight a total $364 million investment in the Interstate 55 corridor in the Chicago area, including the rehabilitation of 49 bridges stretching from the Chinatown feeder ramps to Wolf Road. The centerpiece is the reconstruction of the Illinois 50 and Illinois 43 interchanges, with modifications and signal improvements to reduce congestion and increase accommodations for people who walk and bike.
“Under Governor Pritzker, we are making history rebuilding Illinois, strengthening our status as America’s transportation hub and leaving a positive impact that will last for generations,” said Illinois Transportation Secretary Omer Osman. “We look forward to putting people to work, striving to build the safest, most resilient and accessible system of transportation in the country.”
Passed in 2019, Rebuild Illinois is investing a total $33.2 billion into the state’s aging transportation system over six years, creating jobs and promoting economic growth. Rebuild Illinois is not only the largest capital program in state history, but also the first one that touches all modes of Illinois transportation: roads and bridges, transit, waterways, freight and passenger rail, aviation, and bicycle and pedestrian accommodations.
Through March 31, Rebuild Illinois has made possible approximately $14.8 billion of improvements statewide on 6,078 mi. of highway, 629 bridges and 895 additional safety improvements.

Iowa, Minnesota Clean Up Following Historic Flooding
FLOOD from page 1
Thousands of homes in the town of 12,300 in Clay County lost their basement to water and demolition of the homes that can’t be saved has not yet begun, Gifford said. But while clean-up has been ongoing for weeks, with the Iowa DOT and private contractors working round-the-clock, they’ve only made a dent in the debris.
“We’re still in debris pick-up mode,” Gifford said. “There’s still a lot to do. The Iowa state DOT disaster team came in with five teams of 10 trucks each, one skid loader and one front end loader each. They worked for 10 days, 7 days a week, 10 to 12 hours a day.”
The state teams hauled as much of the debris as possible to the landfill 15 mi. away, but without tarps for the semi-trailers, they had no choice but to leave much behind.
“We created two big piles of debris,” Gifford said. “We're getting a couple of low-speed grinders in so we can grind that up into smaller pieces, tarp it and take it to the landfill. That way, we won’t take up so much landfill space.”
Two private contractors, Service Master and SERVEPRO, are now picking up where the state teams left off, but it’s a huge undertaking, Gifford said. One of the dump piles is so large, Gifford couldn’t even make a guess at its height.
“It makes full-size excavators look like toys,” he said. “It’s not garbage, it’s people’s stuff. It’s very sobering. People from Iowa want to get past stuff fast, so we have people cutting out the bottom three feet of drywall and a lot of that material is in the pile too. You see the normal stuff you would find in a basement. There is a pretty good pile of appliances.”
While residents took a hard hit, the business district on the south side of Spencer saw the biggest impact. As business owners clean up, many must make the decision of whether to rebuild again. Gifford suspects some will not, he said.
The Spencer City Hall did not escape the damage and staff is currently working under the hum and buzz of fans and humidifiers working to dry out the musty-smelling building.
About 115 mi. north in Minnesota, the people of Blue Earth County have been relying on heavy equipment for a variety of big jobs.
“We used some heavy equipment when we did removal of a house so it wouldn’t go in the river,” said Eric Weller, emergency management director. “We used heavy equipment to move rock to stabilize piers and remove some of the trees, and a couple of bulldozers and side dump trucks to haul 4,000 pounds of rip rap.”
The county is now awaiting word on how they will proceed with the Rapidan Dam and a nearby bridge, both undermined by the flood waters. The dam has not been functional for years and repairs are likely a long time in coming, Weller said. The bridge has been closed to both vehicles and pedestrians.
“We’re at a standstill,” Weller said. “It’s regulated by FERC and so we’re working with the federal government; it will take a long time to get through the paperwork and see our options and who is going to pay for it. The bridge, about 40-years-old, is separate, set off from the dam. It is important in our community for farming, going from one side to another. Without the bridge they must go to Mankato or down to Good Thunder. It is very inconvenient — 15 to 20 minutes to go around from one way to the other.”
Meanwhile, in Spencer, the city is wasting no time moving forward to get their town back to something resembling normal.
“We are going to work on hurrying up and get something built,” Gifford said. “FEMA is in town. They are helping. They have set up at the event center, which was not damaged. It’s a one stop shop. People can come in and fill out applications and discuss their situation with FEMA live. They have quite a team here. In the end, I believe this flood will rank pretty high as a disaster in the country.”

Kenworth Announces It Begins Production for Trucks Spec’d With X15N Engine This Year
percent improvement in fuel economy over Cummins’ 12-liter natural gas engine with similar rating and duty cycle.
Kenworth announced it will begin production of Kenworth T680 and T880 models specified with the new Cummins X15N natural gas engine in the third quarter of 2024.
The Cummins X15N, powered by Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) or Liquified Natural Gas (LNG), is the industry’s first 15-liter natural gas engine that delivers diesel-like power, range, and performance, making it appealing for short, regional, and long-haul operations. The X15N produces between 400-500 hp with up to 1,850 lb.-ft. of torque and is compatible with Eaton Cummins Endurant and Allison Transmissions.
“We’re thrilled to soon begin production of Kenworth trucks with the Cummins X15N natural gas engine,” said Kevin Haygood, Kenworth assistant general manager of sales and marketing. “This new engine offering will be a great alternative solution for Kenworth customers seeking to reduce emissions in applications that require the power and performance they’re accustomed to with diesel engines.”
The Cummins X15N meets stringent EPA emission requirements and CARB 2024 Low NOx standards and features up to a 10 percent improvement in fuel economy over Cummins’ 12-liter natural gas engine with similar rating and duty cycle. Kenworth is the first major truck manufacturer to offer an engine that meets CARB’s NOx emission standards.
“We’re pleased to partner with Kenworth and PACCAR to deliver the industry’s first trucks with this new 15-liter natural gas engine,” said José Samperio, Cummins vice president and general manager for North America. “The X15N delivers the performance, durability, and power required in a variety of heavy-duty and vocational applications and is an excellent alternative for fleets looking to significantly reduce their carbon footprint.”
With the Cummins X15N, like with all natural gas-pow-
ered Kenworth trucks, customers can select factory frame drilling options for back of cab Cummins Clean Fuel Technologies or Hexagon Agility CNG/RNG fuel systems. Additional non-factory fuel systems are available to ensure flexibility for any application or configuration of the natural gas fuel system, including rail mounted and body mounted fuel storage. Back of cab natural gas fuel delivery systems can deliver up to a 175-diesel gallon equivalent (DGE), making the X15N an efficient diesel alternative for customers that require longer range and power from their engine.
“Over the last two decades, Kenworth has been instrumental in offering clean fuel solutions for heavy-duty truck fleets. Together, we’re driving adoption of affordable sustainability solutions forward,” said Eric Bippus, Hexagon Agility EVP of sales and systems. “Our CNG/RNG ProCab [back of cab] and ProRail [side-mount] fuel systems are backed by decades of innovation with millions of miles driven by leading fleets that have chosen to partner with us.”
“The integration of the Cummins Clean Fuel Technologies fuel delivery system and X15N engine give Kenworth customers an added level of serviceability of both the engine and fuel delivery system because guidance for all service procedures is available on Cummins platforms like QuickServe Online,” said Mike Zimmerman, Cummins Clean Fuel Technologies general manager. “We think this powertrain combination enhances the overall value proposition of the vehicle and we’re excited to work with Kenworth and Cummins to continue to bring value to the customers.”
Earlier this year, Kenworth delivered a pre-production Kenworth T680 Daycab equipped with the X15N engine to UPS, marking the industry’s first truck with the new natural gas engine to be delivered.

Fugro Supports Bridge Redesign With Geotechnical Expertise
Fugro is performing a nearshore geotechnical study to support the site investigation phase for the new U.S. 51 Cairo Bridge in Ballard County, Ky.
The current bridge, built in 1936, connects Wickliffe, Ky., to Cairo, Ill., and carries a high volume of commercial truck traffic over the Ohio River. However, its narrow lanes and shoulders are inadequate for oversize or overweight loads. Fugro’s study will focus on the subsurface conditions within the project’s marine environment, providing critical information for the efficient design of a safer and more reliable crossing.
Fugro was selected for the project by consulting engineer Terracon. Leveraging extensive nearshore experience, Fugro is conducting the study from a third-party lift boat, specially equipped to operate in both shallow and deeper waters with minimal environmental disturbance. The vessel is now on site after an 8-day journey up the Mississippi River from Louisiana, enabling Fugro experts to begin the study, which involves soil sampling; in situ testing; seismic cone penetration testing (SCPT); and downhole PS logging and analysis.
Fieldwork is scheduled to last approximately two months, with two drilling and two SCPT crews rotating shifts for 24/7
operations. Project data will be delivered to Terracon in near real-time using a Fugro proprietary cloud-based solution, enabling fast
access to early results and timely adjustments to the scope of work.
“Fast and accurate geotechnical data and
analysis is a critical component of any bridge project, and we’re proud to be contributing our nearshore expertise on the U.S. 51 Cairo Bridge,” said Stephen Williams, director of site investigation of Fugro in the Americas. “Our streamlined approach, experienced team and advanced technologies will positively contribute to the overall site investigation, supporting a modern bridge design that will better serve today’s transportation needs with safety and sustainability in mind.”

Of the $2.05 billion in general fund IIJA money received each year by this account in 2022 and 2023, FTA obligated $782 million in 2022 and $1.522 billion in 2023.
“But this was all dwarfed by COVID aid,” added Eno, noting that for FY2021, FTA did not code the CARES Act separately from the regular program.
IIJA established two different major multimodal grant programs, RAISE grants and MEGA project grants. They’re funded out of the same budget account.
Three other multimodal grant programs established by IIJA at DOT also are slow to get going.
Some $7.5 billion was allocated in the bill for electrical vehicle charging infrastructure. However, the effort has produced only eight federally funded charging stations to date across the country.
During an interview with Scripps, Pete Buttigieg, transportation secretary, explained the decision process for where to install new charging stations.
“There are areas where it’s just not profitable, at least not yet, for the compa-
“We’re working with the states to make sure that whether we’re talking about apartment buildings in cities or … long stretches of road, you know there’s going to be a charger when you need it.”
Enacting legislation and realizing its purported benefits are two very different things, said CATO, a lesson now being learned by IIJA supporters.
“The law, which dedicated $1.2 trillion to a variety of infrastructure initiatives, has yet to yield many of its expected deliverables.”
The IIJA’s nearly $1.8 trillion marks “a profound boost” in infrastructure spending, said the Center for American Progress (CAP), a policy organization.
“IIJA might be remembered as the act that, quite literally, rebuilt America for the 21st century.”
But to make the most of new resources, the federal government must address communities’ “wariness” of projects, said CAP.
“Deliberate and strategic implementation practices will be needed to ensure the nation’s changes to infrastructure mitigate rather than reinforce structural dependency traps.” CEG
