Additional Projects

Mr. Newberger served on the subconsultant team for this project, which included design and construction of a new one-mile, two-lane tunnel under Thimble Shoal Channel. The new tunnel will carry two lanes of traffic southbound and the existing tunnel will carry two lanes of traffic northbound. Mr. Newberger oversaw the development of traffic signal and maintenance of traffic plans. Signal work included design plans, electrical plans, specification and calculations for the traffic and lane use management signals, controller installations, cabinets and all necessary equipment for the required functionality and controller signal electrification and communications including pathway and wiring requirements.

Maintenance of traffic tasks included preparation of MOT and construction staging schemes for each work area, traffic schemes for temporary work zones, coordination with the JV team on the preparation of the Traffic Management Plan, and coordination with the approach structures design team for staging in the approach roadways.

Mr. Newberger oversaw roadway design services for the Humphreys Engineering Center (HEC) access road in Alexandria, VA. This Federal project included designing an egress thoroughfare connecting HEC roadways to Jeff Todd Way as an alternative to the main entrance. The scope of services consisted of roadway layout and grading design, hydraulic design, road profiles and cross sections, traffic control plans, roadway lighting, utility relocations, and pavement marking and signage plans. Environmental impacts including wetlands, streams and unsuitable soils are some of the constraints that were addressed during the design phase.

Ms. Newberger provided stormwater management design services for the design of Humphreys Engineering Center (HEC) access road and Maintenance and Supply Building in Alexandria, VA to comply with both Virginia DEQ and Federal EISA 438 Requirements. This Federal project included designing an egress thoroughfare connecting HEC roadways to Jeff Todd Way as an alternative to the main entrance requiring coordination with VDOT, local municipalities and DEQ. The access road design involved roadway layout and grading design, hydraulic design, road profiles and cross sections, traffic control plans, utility relocations, and pavement marking and signage plans. Construction documents for the site development of a 47,300+ square foot maintenance building on approximately 12+ acres of land involved design of associated driveways, grading, storm sewer, sanitary sewer, water mains, service connections and utility corridors. Stormwater management plans evaluated engineered swales, filters, wetlands, ponds, manufactured devices and underground measures. A Basis of Design Narrative was provided in accordance with requirements 5.6 of the UFC 1-300-09N Navy and Marine Corps Design Procedures. Environmental impacts including wetlands, streams, floodplain management and unsuitable soils are some of the constraints that were addressed during the design phase.

This Design-Build project consisted of constructing over 2 million square-foot, mixed-use development over I-395 while maintaining traffic underneath. Design challenges included creating a new ramp portal within Massachusetts Avenue to replace the existing 3rd Street on-ramp and maintaining traffic during peak hours on I-395 while constructing the platform above.

Mr. Newberger managed the design of 35 traffic signal design/modification plans; signing and pavement marking (surface street and highway); maintenance of traffic (multiple phases per stage of construction); temporary lighting (surface street and highway); and ITS plans (truck over-height detector, lane use signals, changeable message board, communications).

The VDOT I-64 Express Lanes Segment 1 project includes the conversion of 8.4 miles of existing HOV (High Occupancy Vehicle) lanes on I-64 between the I-564 interchange and the I-264 interchange to express lanes. Mr. Newberger served on the subconsultant team for the Toll System and Services contract, which included design, integration, installation, testing, operation and maintenance of the toll system associated with Segment 1.

Mr. Newberger's role on the project included serving as the electrical engineer of record for all tolling equipment including all wiring and conduit diagrams to supply power to and communication between the various tolling equipment. In addition, Mr. Newberger also provided maintenance of traffic plans for all on-site installation, testing, tuning and maintenance of the toll system.

Working closely with Arlington County staff, Mr. Newberger helped develop an earlier version of the Traffic Signal and Streetlight Specifications Manual for Arlington County, VA. As part of this effort, Mr. Newberger incorporated changes and updates to the existing traffic signal and lighting standards, as well as developed new standard drawings including a Relume Retrofit LED Streetlight System.

Mr. Newberger oversaw the design of traffic engineering design plans throughout Fairfax County as part of an engineering services on-call. Designs include Traffic Signal, Maintenance of Traffic, Traffic Management, and Signing and Pavement Marking plans. Representative projects include:

• Hunter Mill Rd. at Sunrise Valley Intersection Improvements (Signing and Pavement Marking)
• Route 50, Annandale Rd. to Cherry St. Sidewalk Improvements (Traffic Signal Design, TMP/MOT, Signing and Pavement Marking)
• Route 50, Cherry St. to Linden Lane Sidewalk Improvements (TMP/MOT, Signing and Pavement Marking)
• Kirby Road Sidewalk (TMP/MOT, Signing and Pavement Marking)
• Highland Street/Backlick Road/Amherst Avenue Intersection Improvements (TMP/MOT, Signing and Pavement Marking, Traffic Signal Modification)
• W&OD Trail Crossing at Wiehle Avenue (TMP/MOT, Signing and Pavement Marking, Traffic Signal Modification)

Mr. Newberger managed the development of traffic design plans in support of the conversion of New Jersey Avenue from one-way to two-way roadway traffic between N Street and 2nd Street, NW, in Washington, DC, for DDOT. In addition, the project replaced full-depth pavement along New York Avenue from First Street to 4th Street and improved safety throughout the corridor. This project provides particular challenges due to the intersection of New York Avenue with New Jersey Avenue being amongst the highest crash locations within Washington, DC.

Mr. Newberger managed the design of on-street bicycle facilities for the City of Alexandria. Bicycle facilities included sharrows, bike lanes, and hybrid designs in conformance with AASHTO, MUTCD, and the NACTO. In an effort to keep costs down, standard note, marking, and sign sheets were developed and utilized for each design.

• Traffic Calming (speed humps), Russell Road (Monticello Blvd. to West Glebe Rd.)
• Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvement Plan, North Hampton Dr. (West Braddock Rd. to King St.)
• Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvement Plan, Potomac Greens Dr. (Massey Dr. to Potomac Greens Cir.)

Mr. Newberger managed the design of bicycle signing and pavement marking plans for multiple bicycle lane and cycle-track projects in Washington, DC in support of their Bicycle Master Plan.
