Attached are PDF Files of the available project alignment and/or structures geotechnical report(s), geotechnical report supplements, and geotechnical laboratory summaries.  There is remaining geotechnical information that is voluminous and very difficult to compile in a concise manner.  Contractors are welcome to come to MDT Headquarters to inspect rock samples taken for the project that are stored here or to look through the complete set of Geotechnical field investigation notes, laboratory testing, analytical, or other data in our project files.  It should be noted that the project may have undergone significant changes during the design process after the original geotechnical report and supplements were issued.  Thus, some of the information contained in these documents may be out of date or not applicable with regard to the advertised project. Some of the changes include, but are not limited to: Project splits (for funding, ROW issues, etc.); alignment and grade changes; and changes due to environmental factors (sensitive areas, etc.).  The documents can be found at: GEOTECH ALIGNMENT REPORT

MDT has not secured any temporary construction permits and therefore the Contractor will not be allowed to work outside of MDT ROW without written permission from adjacent landowners secured through the Contractor.

The existing access control fence is not representative of the ROW limits along the entire project limits, specifically near the existing culvert inlet and outlet, refer to the linked set of as-built/ROW plans for ROW limits (sheet 25/26), these ROW plans are included for information only.  Work outside of the Access Control fence is expected but work must be in accordance with the contract and associated permits both obtained by MDT and the Contractor.
