Abstract:As a part of the HfL initiative, the FHWA provided a $1.2 million grant to the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) to rehabilitate the highway structures on I-80 Elko County. This project involved (1) Rehabilitation of Carlin Tunnels, (2) Reconstruction of pavement structures, (3) Rehabilitation of eight bridge structures, and (4) Operational improvements to highway and tunnels. The key innovation employed on this project was the construction manager at risk (CMAR) method of construction delivery, which was expected to extend the service life of the highway structures while significantly reducing the duration of construction. Another important element of this project was to completely renovate the lighting system within the Carlin Tunnels using new light-emitting diode (LED) luminaires. In fact, this is the first project in North America that used an LED lighting system for highway tunnels. The overall objective of this project was to improve the structural condition of I-80 through Carlin Canyon and provide operational and safety improvements, which was accomplished innovatively through this project.
