1868 URS has been awarded a two-year contract, with the option for a two-year extension, by the 1773 Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) to provide operations and support services for the Gateway Guide Transportation Management Centre (TMC) located in St. Louis, Missouri. The centre monitors over 350kms interstate utilising nearly 500 sensors and 250 traffic cameras in the St. Louis Metropolitan Area. During non-business hours, Interstates 44 and 55 statewide are also monitored. Congestion and incidents along the interstate are managed through messages on 100 dynamic message signs throughout the metropolitan area. The Gateway Guide TMC also coordinates closely with the 2030 Illinois Department of Transportation District 8 TMC located in Collinsville to manage traffic on the Mississippi River Bridges.

Under its contract, URS will provide management, staffing and other support services for the day-to-day operation of the TMC. In addition to coordinating and reacting to emergencies on the interstate, URS staff at the TMC will perform customer service duties, dispatch MoDOT’s maintenance and traffic personnel and monitor the Lindbergh Boulevard Tunnel, the only roadway tunnel in Missouri. Support services at the TMC will also be provided, including updating operation manuals, expanding the training programmes, performance measure reports, and data management.
