Project Name: Rehabilitation of Benning Road, NE from Anacostia Avenue to 42nd Street Washington, D.C.

1.0 Project Description

The project mainly consists of reconstruction of Benning Road, NE from Anacostia Avenue to 42nd Street, NE, Washington, D.C. The study area (figure below) considered for analysis is bounded by:

• Benning Road, NE on the north and northeast side
• Independence Avenue/E. Capitol Street, NE on the south side
• 17th Street, NE on the west side.

Benning Road is a principal arterial and, as such, the project is defined as a significant project according to District Department of Transportation (DDOT). Therefore, the TMP must comprise of:

• Temporary Traffic Control (TTC)
• Transportation Operation (TO)
• Public Information and Outreach (PI&O).

An analysis using Synchro was conducted to estimate the work zone impacts. This was warranted due to the location of the project in an urban corridor with moderate traffic. The impacts analysis indicates that this is a significant project, with limited impacts as shown below. A summary of operational analysis is provided in the Appendix A.

A. Does the project include long-term closures/extended weekend closures?
X Yes    No If Yes, check all applicable types of facilities:    Freeway X Principal Arterial    Minor Arterial    Collector    Local
B. Significant Rating:

1. Portable Changeable Message Signs (PCMS) on either end of the construction zone to alert drivers of any lane shifts/closures, reduced speed limits, and expected behaviors. Recommended locations are:
   • EB Benning Road, NE west of Anacostia Avenue, NE.
   • WB Benning Road, NE east of 42nd Street, NE.

2. Paid Police Enforcement at intersections along Benning Road with Oklahoma Avenue, NE, Anacostia Avenue, NE, 34th Street, NE, Minnesota Avenue, NE, and E. Capitol Street, NE.
3. Contractor should install traffic cameras linked to the TMC at following locations.
   • Benning Road, NE at Minnesota Avenue, NE
   • Benning Road, NE at 36th Street, NE
4. The TMC can coordinate and manage traffic as necessary. The existing TMC for the District can be used and may be staffed by either contract staff and/or agency personnel as per DDOT regulations.
4. Benning Road, NE is an evacuation route and in case of any incident resulting in full closure other agencies should be informed, including:
   • D.C. Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency (HSEMA).
   • Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA).

6.0 TMP Implementation/Monitoring

Both DDOT and the Contractor must designate a trained person at the project level to implement the TMP (see Section 2 for Roles and Responsibilities) and other safety and mobility aspects of the project. For the Contractor, this person will be the Traffic Safety Officer (TSO), as specified in the DDOT Standard Specifications for Highways and Structures, 2005 or later, Section 616.02(B1). These persons are responsible for efficiently and appropriately implementing the TMP.

Both DDOT and the Contractor-designated trained person are responsible for reviewing traffic operations throughout the project limits on a regular basis, including the condition of all traffic control devices. DDOT will monitor the TMP for both oversight and evaluation purposes. DDOT will (as practical):

1. Monitor and document TMP changes during construction.
2. Prepare an evaluation report of the TMP, including lessons learned. (Appendix C contains the DDOT Post Project Evaluation Report template).

7.0 TMP Review/Approvals

In accordance with the DDOT Work Zone Safety and Mobility Policy, the designated DDOT Chief Engineer/Deputy Chief Engineer approves the final TMP design document before implementation.
