Lab 33 - Interchange Project

Labs for InRoads V8i SS2 Chapter 3 - Interchange Project
Chapter 3 - Interchange Project
As part of the Federal Blvd. and 6th Ave. interchange reconstruction project, access from Federal Blvd. to 6th
Ave. and Bryant Street is being added. The ramp from Federal Blvd. to 6th Ave (called the SE Ramp) splits to
provide access to Bryant Street. This lab illustrates the InRoads design process for creating this interchange.
This lab is concerned with the mergers of the SE Ramp with the 6th Ave. edge of pavement and the mergers of
the Bryant Street ramp with the SE Ramp. Therefore, the intersections of the ramps at Bryant Street and
Federal Blvd. will not be modeled.
Chapter Objectives:
 Give a project overview
 Create a corridor for the SE Ramp.
 Define Point Controls to tie to the existing 6th Ave. edge of pavement.
 Create a corridor for Bryant Ramp.
 Create initial design surfaces for SE Ramp and Bryant Ramp.
 Determine key stations for ramp mergers.
 Define Point Controls for street returns in both corridors
 Modify Bryant Ramp template for the area in the intersection.
 Create a combined surface of SE Ramp and Bryant Ramp.
Project Overview
Project Description
This project creates accesses to 6th Ave. and Bryant Street from Federal Blvd. The Ramp from
Federal Blvd. merges into the existing edge of pavement of 6th Ave. The ramp from Bryant
Street merges into the SE Ramp (from Federal to 6th).

Initial Modeling
There are two areas of special importance on this project, where the SE Ramps merges with the existing 6th
Ave. edge of pavement and where the Bryant Ramp merges with the SE Ramp. In these areas, the templates
change to accommodate the narrowing pavement width. To determine the stations where template changes
occur, initial design surfaces are created for the SE Ramp and the Bryant Ramp.
Initial SE Ramp Corridor Model

The initial run of the SE Ramp is primarily concerned with locating stations for template
changes. Do not be concerned that the template crosses into the 6th Ave. driving lanes, as this
will be corrected in the final modeling.

It was determined that the gore between the merger of SE Ramp and 6th Ave would end at the intersection of
the RT_POSS and the existing edge of pavement of 6th Ave. the gore between the merger of SE Ramp and
Bryant St ends at the intersection of SE Ramp’s LT_POSS and Bryant Ramp’s RT_POSS. The stations of these
intersections, along with the intersection of the SE Ramp’s LT_POSS and Bryant Ramp’s LT_POSS, must be
determined for the additional template drops needed in the final surface.
Display Design Data

The relevant horizontal alignments are displayed in the dgn file to give a reference location
when determining the key stations.

alignment. The stations are needed on each alignment so that template drops can be entered
correctly.

Section Objectives:
♦ Display the required surface features from the initial design surfaces
♦ Use Tracking to identify the key stations
Locate Key Stations for SE Ramp at 6th Ave.

Each point on a template creates a feature in the design surface which can make it difficult to
find the desired features for display. To reduce the number of features that have to be combed
through, feature filters are used. There is a predefined filter that excludes untriangulated
features. This is used reduce the number of features in the dialog box to a manageable number.

Set Up For Final Modeling

With the key stations determined and the new templates created, the corridors are modified to use this data.
Changes in corridor stations, additional template drops, point controls, and target aliasing are used to
incorporate this data. Also, after reviewing the initial design surface data, some sideslopes require modification
Set Up for the SE Ramp

Section Objectives:
♦ Add template drops for the new SE Ramp templates
♦ Add point controls to match the template to the 6th Ave edge of pavement
♦ Modify sideslopes in the template view
Adding Template Drops
These are added to include the new templates into the corridor.
1. Open Roadway Designer.
2. Set the Corridor to SE Ramp and the Active Surface to Existing_Ground.
3. Open the Template Drops dialog box.

Because this alignment runs west to east, the first template drop is at the edge of 6th Ave.
Therefore, the template for this drop is changed to use the SE Ramp at 6th Ave template.
4. Highlight the template drop in the Current Template Drops list.

5. In the Library Templates area, expand the 1 – Templates folder and select the SE Ramp
at 6th Ave template.

6. <D> Change.
The next two template drops define the change from the SE Ramp at 6th Ave to the SE Ramp at
Bryant Ramp template. This change occurs in 0.01 feet so that there is an abrupt change from a
template with a curb to a template without one.
7. Key in 3+88.03 for the Station.
Note: The interval for this template drop could be anything greater than 0.01.
9. In the Library Templates area, highlight the SE Ramp at 6th Ave template.
