ACTT Workshop, West Monroe, Louisiana - Executive Summary
In December 2003, the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (LDOTD) hosted a 2-day workshop that brought together attendees from several States. For its workshop, LDOTD selected a bridge project located on I-20, just south of the original downtown area on a 2.9-km (1.8-mi) section of elevated highway, which includes the spans crossing the Ouachita River in Monroe, LA. The project is to rehabilitate the 40-year-old bridge to restore the superstructure and address structural deficiencies. The biggest challenge the project presents is traffic control during construction for 95,000 vehicles that travel this substandard section (two 3.6 m/12-ft lanes and 8.4/28 ft of clear driving surface in each direction) of I-20. Shifting through traffic onto other highway systems in the area would make for a detour length of 96 km (60 mi) or more. ... [Read More]

EDSITEment - Lesson Plan
When students read correspondence between Monroe and former President Thomas Jefferson, they also will note Jefferson's apparent influence on Monroe. In the culminating lesson of this unit of study, students will decide for themselves if the famous Doctrine has been correctly or incorrectly named. Any well-reasoned conclusion based on evidence will be fine because this unit has a different underlying purpose: As students explore the relative influence of Monroe, Adams, and Jefferson on the Monroe Doctrine, they also will be analyzing the Monroe Doctrine itself and events contemporary to it. ...

Biography of James Monroe
Monroe accepted Adams's advice. Not only must Latin America be left alone, he warned, but also Russia must not encroach southward on the Pacific coast. ". . . the American continents," he stated, "by the free and independent condition which they have assumed and maintain, are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European Power." Some 20 years after Monroe died in 1831, this became known as the Monroe Doctrine. ... Monroe made unusually strong Cabinet choices, naming a Southerner, John C. Calhoun, as Secretary of War, and a northerner, John Quincy Adams, as Secretary of State. Only Henry Clay's refusal kept Monroe from adding an outstanding Westerner. ... [Read More]

ACTT Workshop, West Monroe, Louisiana - Project Details
Traffic counts indicate the current average daily traffic (ADT) on the structure to be approximately 95,000 vehicles. Within the Monroe/West Monroe area, only two other river crossings are available: both are located upstream of I-20. The two-lane Desiard Street (Endom) Bridge carries approximately 11,000 vehicles per day and the approach routes are not under the jurisdiction of LDOTD. The four-lane US 80 (Louisville Avenue) bridge has an ADT of 40,000 and is the principal east-west route through Monroe. Both of these bridges are movable spans and must open on demand to river traffic. Neither bridge was considered an alternate route for Interstate traffic. Other river crossings in the region require significant time and mileage to access and are not viable detours. ... [Read More]
ACTT Workshop, West Monroe, Louisiana - Next Steps
The District thanks Bill Farr with the FHWA Louisiana Division Office for his efforts in securing the ACTT workshop for the I-20 project. Through Farr's coordination and the "hands-on" attention to the details by Don Tolar in the Monroe District, the "mini-workshop" was successful and enjoyable to all participants. ... December 15-17, 2003, West Monroe, Louisiana Chapter 4. Next Steps ... The impacts of S.P. 451-06-0121 will be as significant to the Monroe area as other projects selected for an ACTT workshop of perhaps a more grand scale. Loss of the I-20 elevated structure would have national importance, as the detour routing would result in hours of delay to Interstate traffic across the Dallas-Atlanta corridor. Most of the workshop participants had not been introduced to the project's constraints and expectations until Monday afternoon. The Accelerated Construction Technology Transfer Workshop allowed the "observers" to examine the project through the "active" participants' impartial and unbiased analysis. The broad cross section of skills and experience brought into the process exposed materials, methods, and ideas that are not only solutions to the project in focus, but may now be shared by all workshop members with their own organizations. The strategies generated by the workshop validated some original design concepts while providing new direc ... [Read More]
ACTT Workshop, West Monroe, Louisiana - ACTT Background & Purpose
December 15-17, 2003, West Monroe, Louisiana Chapter 1. ACTT Background & Purpose ... The route passes through Monroe just south of the original downtown area on a 2.9-km (1.8-mi) section of elevated highway that includes the spans crossing the Ouachita River. The elevated section of I-20 has remained in service with routine maintenance and only one major rehabilitation performed since 1965. The current traffic volumes and lack of realistic detour routes would create gridlock within the area highway system, including the Interstate, during the planned rehabilitation. The project site and required work did not seem compatible with achieving traffic control and construction time goals. ... [Read More]
