Overview
This project identified best practices for inter-jurisdictional operational procedures for bridges that cross borders between states and regional/local jurisdictions. The final report documents the process, methodology, lessons learned, and results of the inter-jurisdictional work that has been done between Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, D.C. regarding incident management on the Woodrow Wilson Bridge. Focus was placed on protocols for incident response, location, identification and verification; cross-border Dynamic Message Sign (DMS) coordination; bridge jumper protocol; quick clearance strategies; responder safety; towing guidelines; and coordination of weather-related or emergency maintenance services.
