Like many state DOTs\, West Virginia’s program has expanded to unprecedented funding levels. WVDOT will receive $3.7B in Federal Highway formula funding over the life of IIJA. This is a 35% increase annually in their program when compared to the FAST Act. Additionally\, over the next five years\, WVDOT will receive $109M/year in dedicated funding for bridges. In response\, WVDOT has initiated design on over 50 bridge replacement and rehabilitation projects in and around the state capital\, many of which are on or over I-64 and I-77. Each of these roadways carry 100\,000 vehicles per day and serve as critical arteries in the Charleston Metro area. In addition to the bridge projects\, there are also NBIS bridge inspections\, resurfacing\, and other projects. A multi-faceted approach is underway to help mitigate the potential of overlapping work zones\, detours\, and other conflicts during construction. Come learn about this initiative and the innovative tools developed to perform conflict analysis of these projects. \nSpeakers:  \n\n\n\nAmy Staud\, PE\, PTOE\, RSP1\nBridget Wagner\, GISP\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAmy Staud\, PE\, PTOE\, RSP1 is HDR’s Northeast Traffic Engineering Lead and has over 25 years of experience in traffic operations\, microsimulation\, and design of signing\, signals\, and lighting. \nBridget Wagner\, GISP is HDR’s East Region Geospatial Coordinator and has over 14 years of experience in providing geospatial management and services for federal\, state\, and local water\, resources\, and transportation projects. Bridget has integrated cloud and web-based mapping solutions\, as well as standardized database schemas\, for project management\, asset management\, field work coordination\, and stakeholder engagement.

SUMMARY:Webinar Series: Highlights of the District Annual Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Join your fellow Mid-Colonial District colleagues for this special webinar showcasing some of the outstanding presentations that attendees were buzzing about at the 2026 MCDITE Annual Meeting! This 1.5-hour session features three hand-picked standout presentations based on attendee feedback: \n\n12:30 – 12:35PM – Welcome/District Announcements\n12:35 – 1:00PM – A Bridge Too Narrow (Or Is It?) – Connecting Rosslyn to Arlington National Cemetery – Jon Crisafi\, P.E.\, PTOE | Kittleson & Associates\n1:00 – 1:25PM – You Need to Calm Down: Traffic Calming in Lancaster – Ben Hogan and Emma Hamme\, AICP | City of Lancaster\n1:25 – 1:55PM – Small MPO\, Big Impact – Focus on Central Delaware – Marilyn Smith\, MPA\, SPHR | Dover Kent MPO\n1:55 – 2:00PM – Final Business Announcements/Adjourn\n\nCost: $15 Members | $30 Non-members | $5 Retired | $0 Student/Agency \nREGISTER HERE\n  \nAbout the Presentations\n  \nA Bridge Too Narrow (Or Is It?) – Connecting Rosslyn to Arlington National Cemetery\nJon Crisafi\, P.E.\, PTOE | Kittleson & Associates \nArlington County has been exploring better ways to connect walkers and bicyclists the dense urban neighborhood of Rosslyn to Arlington National Cemetery via the N Meade Street bridge. To that end\, a study was conducted (and documented in a VDOT-submitted Interchange Access Report\, or “IAR”) to examine proposed design concepts to improve safety and operations to the partial cloverleaf interchange at the N Meade Street bridge and U.S. Route 50; challenged by both complicated\, heavy traffic demand and limited right-of-way. The project evaluated multiple design phases and future years using microsimulation models\, detailed origin–destination development\, and safety analysis consistent with VDOT standards. \nThe existing roadway connections exhibit recurring rear-end and angle crashes at the unsignalized ramp terminals due to limited sight distance\, unconventional geometry\, and high-speed turning movements. The proposed design concept converts stop-controlled intersections to signalized control\, removing free-flow right turns\, realign approaches\, and provides continuous connection and protection for pedestrian and bicycle crossings. These changes all required funneling these multimodal demands onto and across the existing N Meade Street bridge structure. \nFuture design scenarios incorporate major network changes such as converting Fort Myer Drive to two-way traffic and removing the Wilson Boulevard overpass to strengthen multimodal connectivity and urban access. Collectively\, these phased strategies are projected to reduce crashes\, mitigate ramp spillback\, and balance competing operational priorities. \nThis presentation covers the complicated traffic pattern challenges\, prioritization of non-motorized users\, unique traffic signal sequencing\, safety analysis\, and performance metrics used to determine “success” for this complicated transportation arena. \n  \nYou Need to Calm Down: Traffic Calming in Lancaster\nBen Hogan and Emma Hamme\, AICP | City of Lancaster \nLancaster City is a compact\, walkable & bikeable city – our residents regularly identify these qualities as the best parts of city living. But we’ve also experienced significant and unnecessary loss on our streets due to speeding\, aggressive driving\, and other unsafe behaviors. To guide our efforts to become a place where no one is seriously hurt or killed on our streets\, the City adopted an Active Transportation Plan in 2019 and a Vision Zero plan in 2020. \nSince then\, the City has aggressively implemented a variety of interventions and proven safety countermeasures designed to calm traffic and improve roadway safety for all users\, especially the most vulnerable. Improvements have included installation of 17 miles of bicycle infrastructure\, leading pedestrian intervals (LPIs) at 56% of traffic signals\, citywide signal retiming for lower travel speeds\, intersection daylighting at 84 locations\, rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFBs) at 6 intersections\, and systematic installation of high-visibility crosswalks at all pedestrian crossings. This work has come with a variety of challenges\, including funding\, maintenance\, public opinion\, political will\, multi-jurisdictional cooperation\, and arcane regulatory frameworks – but has begun to make a meaningful difference in our city. And\, there’s more to come. \n  \nSmall MPO\, Big Impact – Focus on Central Delaware\nMarilyn Smith\, MPA\, SPHR | Dover Kent MPO \nDover Kent MPO serves the whole of Kent County in central Delaware. That includes three small urban areas as well as a dozen rural towns. Our planning work is guided by the following vision statement: “The future transportation system in the MPO region is safe\, resilient and sustainable\, supports economic development\, allows easy access and mobility for all people and goods to reach their destination\, and serves desired growth in a manner that is fair and just to all people and respectful of community character and our natural environment.” This presentation will look at recent\, current and upcoming projects that advance this mission for the residents of Kent County.
