I-69 Corridor Highway Crews in Indiana: Shower and Restroom Trailer Planning
Linear job sites move; plan showers at the field office and restrooms that leapfrog.
Key points
- INDOT's I-69 Finish Line site describes 26+ miles of new interstate from Martinsville to I-465.
- Highway work is linear: showers stay at the field office, restrooms move with the crews.
- Night work and summer heat make end-of-shift showers valuable.
INDOT's I-69 Finish Line project site describes more than 26 miles of new interstate built from Martinsville to I-465 in Indianapolis, the last link of I-69 between Evansville and Indianapolis. Corridor projects like it, and the resurfacing, bridge, and interchange work that follows, run on long, narrow job sites with crews spread across miles.
A layout that follows the work
- Showers at the field office or main yard, where crews start and end the day.
- Restroom trailers that move every few weeks as paving and bridge crews advance.
- A Handwashing Sink Trailer where crews eat in the field.
