Both alternatives:

Untangle the I-70 and I-71 overlap so motorists

don’t have to make multiple lane changes

Add lanes to accommodate traffic growth Consolidate ramps to improve safety

The analysis showed differences in the following factors:

Impacts to historic districts* Spacing of intersections to improve traffic flow Economic development opportunities (City Study)

These factors all favor the Mound-Fulton Alternative

* Federal laws specifically protect historic resources and require agencies to avoid them when there are prudent and feasible alternatives.

P r o j e c t C o s t

Major Investment Study (December 2005)

  • Initial planning level estimate was $680 million (Year 2010

dollars)

Refinements due to engineering

  • Extensions of project and additional freeway ramps
  • Additional structure costs to minimize right-of-way impacts
  • Refined estimate of right-of-way costs
slide-47

P r o j e c t C o s t

Cost escalation due to inflation

  • Recent high inflation costs in construction industry
  • Current estimate is based on Year 2014 dollars
  • 25% of the estimate is for inflation (Year 2008 to Year 2014)
