2248 Fluor Corporation’s joint venture team, Fluor-Lane South Carolina, comprising Fluor and 6600 The Lane Construction Corporation, has been selected by the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) to design and build the Port Access Road Project in Charleston.

The Port of Charleston is currently the fastest growing major container port in the US and the new roadway and structure project will provide direct access between the proposed marine container terminal located on the former Naval Base and Interstate 26.

The project’s scope will include local roadway enhancements to safely integrate container terminal traffic with existing traffic; support local and regional planning policies and strategies; and minimise adverse impacts on nearby communities, the travelling public and the environment.

The project consists of a new fully directional interchange on I-26, Bainbridge Connector Road, the extension of Stromboli Avenue and associated roadway improvements to surface streets to serve the proposed Naval Base Terminal. Construction is expected to start later this year with completion expected in late 2019.

    Development of cooperative driving applications for work zones
    The German AKTIV project is researching several cooperative driving applications for use in work zones. PTV's Michael Ortgiese details progress. The steep increases in traffic volumes predicted back in the early 1990s have unfortunately been proven to be more than accurate. In Germany, the AKTIV project continues to look into cooperative technologies' potential to reduce the impact of those increased traffic volumes and keep traffic moving despite limitations in infrastructure capacity.
