B. PURPOSE, NEED, AND IMPROVEMENT
Purpose and Need of Project: There is currently a 7 – Ton load restriction on this segment of ND 14. A freight level 2 requires a minimum 8 – Ton load restriction. This corridor is used as a bypass around Bismarck. There are a lot of heavy loads on the roadway, due to there being height restrictions along I-94 from Sterling to Bismarck. An overlay will put a width restriction on this segment. Proposed Improvement: There are two scenarios that apply in removing load restrictions, the first would involve just meeting the freight level requirement of an 8 – Ton limit. The second scenario would go further, taking the roadway to a legal weight requirement. In discussions with the district who is responsible for setting load restrictions, it was determined that a minor rehabilitation is needed to increase the load carrying capacity to 8 – Ton and a major rehabilitation is needed to take the roadway to legal weight. Option 1: Minor Rehabilitation Sliver Grade A minor rehabilitation sliver grade is proposed to extend the useful life of the roadway. This includes widening the roadway to 31’ (2’ widening), milling and overlaying the roadway with 3” of HMA. This would remove the load restriction and increase the load carrying capacity to 8 – Ton to meet freight expectation. Safety issues will be identified and addressed as part of the Statewide Safety Program. Safety features will remain as they exist unless a need is identified. An option is included to widen the roadway to 32’.

Option 2: Major Rehabilitation Cement Stabilized Full-Depth Reclamation A major rehabilitation cement stabilized full-depth reclamation with widening is proposed to bring the highway up to an acceptable condition to extend the service life and provide operational improvements. Based on preliminary pavement designs this includes milling and reclaiming the top 8” of the existing roadway, then overlaying with 4.5” of HMA, resulting in a roadway width of 31’ (2’ widening). Final sections will be determined during project development. This will remove the load restriction and increase the load carrying capacity to legal weight. A 90-1 survey will be completed and areas needing safety improvements will be addressed. Safety hardware will be upgraded to be in compliance with MASH performance criteria. An option is included to widen the roadway to 32’. Proposed Improvements Map:

Crash Analysis: The 5-year study period used was 12/1/2015 – 11/30/2020. Animal crashes are not included. On 8/1/2019 the cost threshold for a reportable crash increased from $1,000 to $4,000, so recent years may show fewer crashes than previous years.

Future Outlook Pavement management philosophies change as new treatments/technology becomes available but as a preliminary forecast of future projects the Bismarck district anticipates the following work over the next 20 years for both options:
Year Treatment 2 Chip Seal
10 Chip Seal or Microsurface 15 PM Overlay
Each option provides an identical short-term future. Roadway widths provide differences in the long-term future. The following table compares the variations in future overlay details based on current requirements of the NDDOT’s Freight Plan and Design Guidelines.
