Nelsonville Bypass Project Nearly 50 Years in the Making By Irwin Rapoport CEG CORRESPONDENT
The $155 million 8.5 mi. (13.7 km), fourlane (two in each direction) U.S. Route 33 Nelsonville Bypass project was completed last October after breaking ground in 2007. The three-phase project, which was first proposed in the 1960s, represents the final leg of the corridor between Charleston, W. V., and Columbus, Ohio. The bypass, commissioned by the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) with the contract awarded to Kokosing Construction Company Inc., replaced a section of U.S. 33 which passed through the middle of Nelsonville, Ohio. The new road cuts through the northern section of the Wayne National Forest (WNF), the only national forest in the state. “At one point it was the largest dirt work project in the state and it was the largest stimulus project via the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA),” said Steve Williams, District 10 deputy director of ODOT in Marietta. Close to 25 million cu. yd. (19 million cu m) of dirt was removed and about 21 million cu. yd. (16 million cu m) was recycled. “Most of it was ballast,” said Williams. “Most of the cuts went into the fills. We had three dedicated waste areas where we placed the material that we didn’t use for the fills.” The bypass was built to eliminate the bottleneck and traffic delays that were encountered when the road passed through Nelsonville. “The new highway saves an average of 10 to 15 minutes as opposed to when you had to travel through town,” says Williams, “and on Friday nights, it can save up to 45 minutes.” Because it cut through nearly 5 mi. (8 km) of forest land, the project raised a number of environmental concerns which required several environmental and biological assessments for ODOT. “This meant we had to do a lot of things that we normally don’t,” said William, “so
there are numerous environmental and wildlife features on this project. There had been sightings of Eastern Timber Rattlesnakes and we built a snake crossing under the road and installed snake fencing to convey them. We also erected deer fencing along the entire bypass with deer jump-outs to funnel them off the highway and into the wildlife crossings.” Minimizing the impact of road projects on wildlife is being taken more seriously by highway designers, which has led to greater dialogue between DOTs and environmental organizations. “We consulted with other states on wildlife and environmental mitigation techniques, especially when it came to deer fencing and crossings,” said Williams. “We invested $10 million for all of the engineering and construction of these infrastructures.” One of the bridges — there are four twinspan bridges up to 355 ft. (108 m) long and
42 ft. (12.8 m) wide — was built to protect the endangered Appalachian Grizzled Skipper butterfly. “Research has shown that wildlife culverts and bridges are successful at keeping animals off the highway, as well as allowing them to move freely through their habitat,” said Williams. “We planted certain vegetation under the overpasses. This attracts the animals and helps facilitate the use of these wildlife culverts.” He added that at this point, ODOT does not have any plans to install wildlife culverts Kokosing installed settlement platforms and vibrating wire piezometers in some of the larger embankments to monitor the fills to determine the rate of settlement or pore pressure as required by ODOT.
After decades of planning, several years of construction and effective partnering, the U.S. 33 Nelsonville Bypass is open, providing motorists to southeast Ohio safer, faster and easier travel.
or bridges along existing highways in the state. The bypass does not cross any rivers and has had minimal impact on local streams and waterways. A 6 acre wetland was created to not only help improve the local aquifer, but also help promote ecological growth within the forest. Although the project needed more than 600 acres of WNF land, ODOT helped offset the acreage loss by donating a total of 328 acres back to the forest. “We had some parcels of land that we gave the forest and then we bought 248 acres that was adjacent to it,” said Williams. “We also gave them about 40 acres of old U.S. 33 that already runs through the forest — at the tail end, which they’re going to use for parking and recreation.” But the largest challenge for the project was dealing with very old abandoned coal mines under the roadway that operated in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The mines, which could not be accessed through their entrances as the shafts had collapsed, covered several mi. of the bypass. “It was the largest mine mitigation project in the country at one point,” said Williams, “and on one phase of the project we spent $32 million to grout the mines. We had to drill down from anywhere between 20 and 120 feet as part of the operations.” This project was instructive for ODOT, especially how important it is for cooperation when partnering with other agencies in terms of planning and getting all sides on board to secure approval, permissions, schedules and mitigation efforts. see BYPASS page 2

Kokosing Develops Drilling, Blasting Patterns to Clear Path BYPASS from page 1
“This bypass was talked about in 1965, so it took that long to get here,” he said. “Working with the WNF on this scale was new to us. It was definitely challenging at times, but we worked through it and in the end developed a very good partnership. Being a stimulus project, we had eight different government agencies with oversight on this project, so just partnering with them, getting the information that they needed was a major effort, but we had a pretty good system and no issues in that regard.” The wildlife mitigation efforts and mining operations were monitored by other DOTS and are the subject of inquiries, including the Montana DOT in regards to the deer jump-outs. “The WNF is taking this throughout the nation,” said Williams, “so every national forest authority will know what we’ve done at Nelsonville. It has been a great project for us and we had nothing but positive comments ever since.” The efforts to ensure that the project was approved, he adds, were critical to the operations of the Kokosing Construction Company Inc., which won the contract to build the bypass. Kokosing was awarded the contracts to build two of the three phases of the Nelsonville Bypass for a total contract amount of about $66 million. The dirt that was moved was utilized in the construction of the roadway embankments during the cut and fill operations. Approximately 7.8 million cu. yd. (5.96 million cu m) of rock was excavated and 5.5 million cu. yd. (4.2 million cu m) went into the embankments. The balance was distributed in designated areas adjacent to the projects. For all three phases of the project, 207,215 sq. yds. (173,258 sq m) of concrete pavement and 150,230 sq. yds. (125,611 sq m) of asphalt pavement were used, as well as 1.1 million lbs. (521,054 kg) of reinforcing steel and 1.6 million lbs. (741,852 kg) of steel piling. The asphalt was used primarily on the Kokosing phases. “These were large earthwork projects,” said Andy Rhodes,
Kokosing’s project superintendent, who added that the company utilized two Komatsu PC 2000 hydraulic excavators. “There were some very large cut and fill areas and some stipulations on embankments, whether they had a select rock blanket at the bottom or stipulated fill-rates — only so many feet per-day and per-week to allow for the proper settlement of these large embankments.” Kokosing installed settlement platforms and vibrating wire piezometers in some of the larger embankments to monitor the fills to determine the rate of settlement or pore pressure as required by ODOT. “We have had other projects where we utilized the Komatsu PC2000,” said Rhodes, “but this was the first time where we had two of them on one project. “It required a lot of pre-planning,” he added. “We had to plan where we were going with the excavation operations so the select embankment material was available at the right time to keep the construction sequence moving. We pride ourselves on our pre-planning and we did an effective job on that.” Kokosing handled the blasting to clear the path which was based on knowing what type of rock was being encountered and the patterns of the rock. “We do all that studying ahead of time to develop drilling and blasting patterns,” said Rhodes, “and it’s challenging, but as long as you know where you are headed and able to stay in front of your excavation operations, things run smoothly.” Maintenance issues were a priority and as the work proceeded 20 hours per-day (two shifts), the necessary staff was on hand to look after scheduled maintenance and unexpected breakdowns. “We had one onsite full-time master mechanic, a night shift mechanic and a full-time lube and grease man,” said Rhodes. “We were running a lot of equipment and it required maintenance. We pride ourselves on our equipment tremendously. Just to keep up on normal routine maintenance and occasional wear and tear breakdowns took a staff of that size.” Most repairs were done on the

Kasich Unveils $2.4B Budget With Shale Industry Money for Road, Park, Prison Projects Brings Increasing Demands on Roads COLUMBUS, Ohio, (AP) — Ohio Gov. John Kasich has unveiled a nearly $2.4 billion state construction budget to fund a host of community, school, park and prison projects. Kasich and state legislative leaders introduced the spending blueprint March 18. Quick action on the bill is expected. The bill directs $675 million toward primary and secondary schools and $450 million toward public colleges and universities for repairs, renovations and new buildings. Another $574 million goes for maintenance, renovation
and cost-saving projects at state-owned facilities, including parks and prisons. Local road, bridge, sewer and other infrastructure projects would receive $369 million, with an additional $100 million going to the Clean Ohio green space preservation program. By Becky Giauque The administration estimates projects funded under the SPECIAL TO CEG bill would create 31,000 jobs over several years. Shale industries are a rising presence in the state. Eastern (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Ohio is the sweet spot, with activity expanding both north Guide’s Web site at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.) and south. To date, 23 Ohio counties now have some level of shale development. State-wide, there are a total of 1,050 wells either permitted, being drilled, drilled, or producing energy, but data suggests that almost 2,000 wells may be in production in Ohio by the end of this year. This industry is an economic boom for Ohio, but it also brings increased demands on roadways, as drilling sites install new pipelines and driveways and ship out super loads of their product. Addressing these issues is the job of District 11’s Anna Kuzmich. Already a pavement engineer with the office, Kuzmich took on a new role as ODOT’s first state- wide shale coordinator in July 2012.
