Traffic Studies Yielded The Following For The Initial Year (2012)

The document summarizes traffic studies from the initial year of 2012 that analyzed wheel load, axle load, and 8160 equivalence factors for different numbers of axles. It then calculates the estimated annual load (EAL) for 2012 based on these factors and numbers of axles. Finally, it determines the total EAL for 20 years in the future based on a 10% annual growth rate to be approximately 2.46 million.
