1-Louisville Metro Government ViaSmart ITS Project Construction Plans (02-06-2026).pdf

This document comprises construction plans for the Louisville Metro Government's ViaSmart Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Project, a safety and infrastructure improvement initiative addressing viaduct-related hazards across Jefferson County, Kentucky. The project targets multiple viaducts that experience frequent overheight vehicle strikes and roadway flooding, implementing pilot solutions to enhance safety and reliability of affected roadway networks. The ViaSmart system will deploy detection devices and equipment at identified viaduct locations to monitor and communicate critical information to the traveling public and government agencies, including real-time alerts regarding roadway flooding conditions, approaching overheight vehicles, and confirmed overheight strike incidents. The construction plans document provides detailed specifications and technical drawings necessary for implementation of these detection and alert systems at the designated viaduct sites throughout the county.

The construction plans serve as the technical foundation for the broader ViaSmart Project procurement, establishing the engineering standards and installation requirements for the detection infrastructure. These plans will inform contractor bidding processes and guide the construction phase of the project. The document supports Louisville Metro Government's objectives to reduce vehicle-infrastructure conflicts, minimize traffic disruptions caused by flooding, and improve overall transportation network reliability through advanced detection and communication technologies deployed at strategically selected viaduct locations.
