P3? Yes you can, and Canada can help
Infrastructure projects have a strong track record of boosting productivity and economic activity when countries need it most. However, from our perspective in Canada, it appears that U.S. federal, state, and municipal governments have been much less comfortable executing new investments that merge private enterprise with the public sector, preferring instead to focus on public investment or the privatization of assets.

Lighter Loads: Geofoam shortens construction schedules by reducing the weight of embankment fill and settlement time
Placement and settlement of traditional fill materials or consolidation of soils underlying embankments can significantly impact transportation project costs and schedules. Consequently, in a National Deployment Statement, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) urged all states to consider using alternative fill materials such as expanded polystyrene (EPS) geofoam when planning fill and embankment projects. Its National Deployment Goal, as stated on the FHWA’s Corporate Research and Technology website, is that “by October 2010, EPS geofoam will be a routinely used lightweight fill alternative for state DOTs on embankment projects where the construction schedule is of concern. By October 2011, all states will have evaluated EPS geofoam as a lightweight fill alternative.”

Unweaving ‘The Weave’: How URS eased a major bottleneck in the Twin Cities
Carrying 140,000 vehicles per day, the onerous intersection at I-35E and I-694, which sits about 10 miles northeast of downtown Minneapolis, has been a major roadway bottleneck for years. The intersection of the two major interstate highways consisted of two Y-shaped interchanges separated by 1.2 miles of shared or “common” roadway. The overall alignment of I-35E is north-south, while I-694 runs east-west through the interchange and common area.
