  • Chapter 9- the Circulation Plan (PDF)
    CHAPTER 9- THE CIRCULATION PLAN The Circulation Plan in Middletown is coordinated with the State's system of expressways, including Interstate Route 91 about to be completed, Route 9 in the Connecticut valley and the future Route 6A across the State. Middletown needs a thoroughfare between Route I-91 near Country Club Road and the center. The Circulation Plan is also coordinated with the development of downtown Middletown, already described, including the circumferential "ring road" around the center. Regional Expressways The plan which the State Highway Department has made for a state-wide expressway system includes three such routes which traverse Middletown. Interstate Route 91 is under construction from New Haven northward and crosses the western part of the City. Meeting the Connecticut Turnpike at New Haven, this will be the principal approach to Middletown from the southwest, including metropolitan New York. This is scheduled to be completed by the end of 1965. Route 9 is the principal north-south artery of the Connecticut Valley. It passes through Middletown center as an at-grade boulevard along the riverfront mixing local and through traffic. South of the center, it has been improved as a four-lane expressway to a point near the Haddam town line. Its rebuilding as an expressway to the Connecticut Turnpike at Old Saybrook will be undertaken shortly. North of Middletown Route 9 will soon be relocated and rebuilt as an expressway, turning westerly from its present line to join I-91 in the western part of Cromwell. Thus traffic to Middletown from Hartford and the north will start on I-91 and transfer to the new Route 9 a few miles north of the City.

  • I-82 Valley Mall Boulevard Full-Diamond Interchange Was Originally Built in 1964
    PRACTICAL DESIGN AT WORK — DESIGN I-82 – Valley Mall Boulevard – construct roundabout Background Agriculture and tourism, key industries in the Yakima Valley, increase population and drive congestion along the Interstate 82 corridor. Valley Mall Boulevard, located south of Yakima in Union Gap, connects retail and commercial development to the interstate system and provides a direct route to the Yakima Air Terminal. In 2011, the Washington State Department of Transportation improved the Valley Mall Boulevard connection to the I-82 corridor by constructing three roundabouts; a modern traffic trend, somewhat new to the northwest. Practical design solution The I-82 Valley Mall Boulevard full-diamond interchange was originally built in 1964. Minor improvements including widening ramps were complete in 1997. With three stoplights at the ramp terminal, the interchange configuration and traffic flow was not keeping up with the demands of growing retail and commercial development. Congestion at peak travel times resulted in long delays and an increased risk of collisions as traffic backed up onto the freeway. Engineers worried about safety as T-bone and rear-end collisions increased. Typical design options for the congestion and safety issues would entail costly ramps and bridges. The final design chosen embodied modern day practical design concepts. The project used three roundabouts to connect the on-ramps and off-ramps to Valley Mall the city of Union Gap, local businesses The diamond interchange had Boulevard and the adjacent local street, and the public through design and exceeded its service life and was at to improve traffic flow, reduce the risk construction. WSDOT attended city capacity.
