INFRASTRUCTURES * USA - Obama Fast-Tracks Six Major DOT Projects

Calls for expedited construction of bridges in Massachusetts, New York


Washington,DC,USA -The Journal of Commerce, by John D. Boyd -Oct 11, 2011: -- President Obama designated six large transportation construction projects for fast-track permitting and environmental reviews to get them into their building phase faster and spur job creation... That put the Department of Transportation overseeing the most infrastructure projects of any part of government under an expedited clearance program that Obama ordered... The DOT’s larger list that made the White House cut include projects spread around the country. They are:


— Cut permit review time to replace the Whittier Bridge on Interstate 95 in Massachusetts with a higher-capacity one to handle projected traffic for the next 20 years.

— A huge project to replace New York’s “deficient” Tappan Zee Bridge, over the Hudson River on I-285, could be sped up by several years. The White House said this structure is “a critical link in the regional transportation network.”

— The rest range from transit rail projects for Los Angeles International Airport and Baltimore, a new highway from Provo, Utah’s airport to I-15 and a next-generation aviation pilot project for Houston’s two airports.
