I-5 and Hammer Lane Photosimulations CalTrans, Stockton, California POITRA Visual provided photo-realistic simulations for the I-5 North Stockton Corridor Project, which studied the I-5 Corridor through Stockton, California to make capacity improvements. The project resulted in highway widenings throughout the I-5 corridor, several interchange redesigns, and two new interchanges. The I-5 Hammer Lane Interchange required modifications that significantly impacted Hammer Lane. Photo-simulation was the medium chosen as the best way to communicate the proposed design to the public. The images were created using an Engineer provided background photograph of the existing conditions.

An aerial Photosimulation of Hammer Lane was also produced by POITRA Visual.

POITRA used traditional digital painting techniques to illustrate the proposed additional laneage and relocation of sidewalks, medians and signage. The open median between the overpass structures on I-5 can be seen closed to accommodate High Occupancy Vehicle lanes (HOV). The previous bridge and roadway design experience of the POITRA Visual principals played a key role in accurately interpreting the construction documents. The final existing and proposed photosimulation images were used as meeting materials for the public involvement process by the City of Stockton. « BACK
