Operationally Independent Sections (OIS)

  • OIS can be implemented as individual projects with separate Records of Decision (RODs)
  • OIS presented in SEIS show conservative implementation
  • Final number and size of OIS would be determined by RODs

OIS included in Draft SEIS:

  • I-664 from I-264 to US 58
  • I-664 from US 58 to VA 164
  • I-664 from VA 164 to Terminal Avenue Exit
  • I-664 from MMMBT/Terminal Avenue Exit to I-64
  • VA 164
  • I-64 from I-664 to Mallory Street Exit
  • I-64 from Mallory Street Exit to I-564
  • I-564, I-564 Connector, and I-664 Connector
  • I-564, I-564 Connector, and VA 164 Connector
  • I-664 Connector and VA 164 Connector

Alternative A

  • Includes improvements to I-64

between I-664 and I-564

  • Would result in a consistent

six-lane facility

  • Improvements to HRBT would

be largely confined to existing right of way

Alternatives B and C

  • Applies a more narrow footprint than

Alternative C

  • The different footprint allows for more

information and options to be available to the study

House Bill 2 Analysis: Total System level VHT&VMT with peak period congestion relief and throughput increase

2034 Vehicle- miles Traveled (VMT) 2034 Vehicle Hours Traveled (VHT) Peak period delay reduction (hours) Peak period throughput (vehicles) No Build 56,210,400 1,591,730 Alternative A 56,556,700 1,584,510 2,723 2,183 Alternative B 56,767,200 1,583,720 8,623 6,914 Alternative C 56,816,500 1,576,610 6,966 5,585 Alternative D 57,040,800 1,572,130 12,975 10,403

1. Identify links in the regional network operating below the speed limit in future no-build scenario with greater than 10% reduction of traffic for the different alternative improvements compared to the no build scenario . Calculate total difference in VHT for these links between the no-build model and the build model. 2. Multiplying the difference between the no-build VHT from the build VHT by 30% to convert to peak period delay reduction (expressed in vehicle hours) 3. Compute the average system project throughput by multiplying the difference between the no-build VHT from the build VHT by 60 to convert to vehicles minutes traveled, and dividing this difference by the average trip length (expressed in minutes).
