Notes from Richard Allen, District Engineer …on FY 2010 projects: “Preconstruction for I-269, the 28.5-mile Memphis Bypass, has been a major focus. We have been working on right-of-way acquisition, utility relocation, and final design for the interstate corridor. We expect to let the first two-mile stretch from Goodman Road (State Route 302) to the Tennessee state line in Spring 2011.” …on ARRA funding: “District 2 let $35 million in shovel-ready bridge replacement projects using ARRA funds. Construction began on a five-mile stretch with new bridges to carry U.S. Highway 51 in Tate County across Hickahala Creek. ARRA funds also made possible a 1.3-mile project to widen and straighten State Route 305 in DeSoto County, which is a heavy truck route. The project includes four new bridges. Other ARRA bridge replacement projects include State Route 32 in Lafayette and Yalobusha counties and State Route 331 in Lafayette County.” …on challenges: “In order to maintain our roadways under ever-tightening budgets we must have skilled employees who are highly trained, motivated, and productive. Of course, to attract qualified people you have to pay them a decent wage—and yet the Mississippi Legislature has tied our hands on salaries and promotions. This inhibits our ability to hire and retain the best employees, which is costly in the long run.” …on employees going the extra mile: “When the ARRA funding was announced, District 2 employees rolled up their sleeves and got to work. Our construction and maintenance staff worked many extra hours gathering field data and preparing plans. One particular project was upgrading about 40 miles of U.S. 78 (Future I-22) in DeSoto, Marshall, and Benton counties. Our staff worked very hard and we now have 15 miles under contract and 8 more miles soon to be let. This accomplishment will put us ahead of the curve when this corridor is designated as an interstate route. On the Local Public Agency side, $6.4 million in ARRA funds went toward 16 projects in various cities in District 2, requiring outstanding teamwork. During emergencies, our maintenance employees are always ready to help where needed. In FY 2010 they assisted District 3 in clearing trees off the interstate following a tornado, and they assisted District 5 in dealing with snow accumulation in the Jackson metropolitan area.” …on the road ahead: “A feasibility study is under way to enhance 110 miles of the U.S. Highway 49 corridor from Batesville, Mississippi, to Brinkley, Arkansas. This Vision 21 project in the North Mississippi areas surrounding Memphis is aimed at reducing congestion and improving air quality— while encouraging economic development. We’ll continue to work on the I-69/269 corridor, including preconstruction activities for widening I-55 where it is concurrent with I-69 for about eight miles in DeSoto County. The environmental process has been completed on the 120-mile I-69 corridor in Districts 2 and 3, and is ready to go to the preliminary engineering phases as soon as our congressmen fund it. Fifteen miles of the 40-mile U.S. 278/State Route 6 Vision 21 project from Batesville to Clarksdale are in the preliminary engineering phase.” 27
