    Freeway Corridor Study: Project Brief

    Uploaded by

    MyCommunityNOW
    This project brief discusses alternatives for a potential Highland Road interchange to address issues of local access to I-43 from Highland Road. Alternatives presented include doing no interchange or building a tight diamond interchange. A tight diamond interchange could provide local access while avoiding railroad impacts. Costs, wetland impacts, right of way acquisition, and potential relocations will be compared for each alternative before a recommendation is made based on analysis and local input. The alternatives will be presented again in summer 2013 before a draft environmental impact statement.

    Freeway Corridor Study

    Project Brief
    January 30 & 31, 2013

    North-South

    PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING 2

    Highland Road
    This project brief discusses the issues associated with a potential Highland Road interchange. It also briefly describes a range of alternatives developed and how they address these issues, as well as comparing the impacts and costs associated with these improvements. The recommendation for an interchange will be based on the results of the traffic analysis, local desire for an interchange and local cost share participation.

    Whats Next
    Alternatives will be refined based on comments received from this public meeting and ongoing traffic analysis and engineering. Each alternative will then be evaluated based on comments received, impacts, and on how well it meets the purpose and need for this study. The alternatives will be compared to determine which provide the most benefit while minimizing impacts. Intersections will be evaluated for signals or roundabouts. The retained alternatives will be presented at the third public information meeting in late summer 2013. A recommended alternative will then be presented in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement followed by a Public Hearing in early 2014 for your additional input.

    *Interchange alternatives are compatible with four-lane and six-lane I-43 mainline alternatives.
