All-Electronic Tolling Gantry
A RITBA tolling plaza in Jamestown, Rhode Island has been determined to require a design update after an increase in traffic accidents in recent years. The addition of the new electronic tolling gantry has caused increasing speeds of vehicles traveling through the area with no toll booths to stop at. In order to solve this issue, the project requires the design of a new electronic gantry as well as necessary roadway updates to this section of RT-138. Our project involves a preliminary design dedicated to addressing a broken back curve and cross slope in the roadway. There also will be a new All Electronic Tolling Gantry constructed spanning the highway that requires a structural and foundation design. Supplemental deliverables to the project include a maintenance and protection of traffic plan and a virtual reality model of the highway area. All of this will lead to a successful construction project that will make Jamestown, Rhode Island a safer place to drive.
