Abstract:
This data set shows the locations of tunnels maintained or owned by the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) and located on the State Route system. The tunnel locations and attributes were obtained from the Transportation Data Office in an Excel Spreadsheet. Data are current as of 1/29/2004.

Tunnel locations were defined in the spreadsheet based on State Route Milepost and SR/RRT/RRQ and Accumulated Route Miles (ARM) along the State Routes. These events were mapped using the WSDOT 1:24,000 Linear Reference System (LRS) and saved as a new data layer. The LRS line work was last updated on 2/23/2004, and reflects values in the published 2003 State Highway Log (2/28/2003).

Purpose: Show the location of WSDOT Tunnels and to allow the user to determine the Tunnel ID and Structure number. With this information the user may query the WSDOT Bridge Inventory System.
Supplemental Information:
Of the 1870 under crossings, 182 were not mapped. Of these, 5 had ARM values that were not found on the route and 177 were on routes that did not exist in the LRS. The RRTs in this second group were broken down as follows.

RRT Number Not Found
CD 39
CI 44
FD 2
FI 1
HD 2
HI 1
Ramps 88

All uxing information is included within the uxings shapefile data table. You may use the LOC_ERROR field within the shapefile to determine if a given crossing was/was not mapped and why

Attribute Accuracy:

Attribute Accuracy Report: Attribute data obtained from the WSDOT TRIPS database. Data current as of 1/29/2004.

Logical Consistency Report:
Data were mapped as events on the Washington Highway System, at 1:24000. The data were current as of 1/29/2004. The Highway system was last edited on 2/23/2004, and reflects values in the published 2003 State Highway Log (2/28/2003).
Positional Accuracy:

Horizontal Positional Accuracy:

Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report: The Tunnel data contains State Route Milepost and ARM values good to 1/100 of a mile. As such, a tunnel location may only be mapped to +/- 53 feet.

Process Step:

Process Description:
Formatted and converted the Excel Spreadsheet into four dbf files. The original data were divided into four sets based on where the items described by the data were located on the State Route System (i.e. increasing side, decreasing side, on a ramp, or on an under/overcrossing).

Process Step:

Process Description:
Used the Event placement tools within ArcView 3.2a to place the events on the 1:24000 State Route LRS System. Saved the event themes to a new data layer. The four individual layers where then merged (appended) into a single Shapefile.
