ITEM 2 . 6-17 The existing interchanges and/or local roads and streets in the corridor can neither provide the necessary access nor be improved to satisfactorily accommodate the design year traffic demands while at the same time providing the access intended by the proposal. ITEM 3 . 18-21 The proposed access point does not have a significant adverse impact on the safety and operation of the Interstate facility based on an analysis of current and future traffic. The operational analysis for existing conditions shall, particularly in urbanized areas, include an analysis of sections of Interstate to and including at least the first adjacent existing or proposed interchange on either side. Crossroads and other roads and streets shall be included in the analysis to the extent necessary to assure their ability to collect and distribute traffic to and from the interchange with new or revised access points. ITEM 4 . 22 The proposed access connects to a public road only and will provide for all traffic movements. Less than “full interchanges” for special purpose access for transit vehicles, or HOV’s or into park and ride lots may be considered on a case by case basis. The proposed access will be designated to meet or exceed current standards for Federal-aid projects on the Interstate system.

  • The Importance of Highways to U.S. Agriculture
    The Importance of Highways to U.S. Agriculture December 2020 United States Department of Agriculture NOTICE This document is disseminated under the sponsorship of the Department of Agriculture in the interest of information exchange. The United States Government assumes no liability for the contents or use thereof. The United States Government does not endorse products or manufacturers. Trade or manufacturers’ names appear herein solely because they are considered essential to the objective of this report. Cover Credit: unitysphere via 123rf.com ii The Importance of Highways to U.S. Agriculture COVID-19 NOTE The development of this report coincided with the advent of the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic. This pandemic has had multiple impacts that could affect agricultural highway freight, including disruptions to supply chains, shifts in food production and consumption patterns, workforce impacts, and fluctuations in fuel taxes and other revenues. In addition, there have been wide-reaching changes in overall macroeconomic conditions in the United States and overseas, including changes in economic output and exchange rates. The trajectory and long-term consequences of these impacts are difficult to forecast, making it unclear whether and when “normal” conditions may resume. This introduces additional uncertainty into the analysis. It is also important to note that, at the time this report was prepared, the available data sources, estimates, and future projections were largely developed prior to the pandemic and do not reflect these impacts. The Importance of Highways to U.S. Agriculture iii Form Approved REPORT DOCUMENTATION PAGE OMB No. 0704-0188 The public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1 hour per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information.

  • Top 2021 Missouri Work Zones with Traffic Impacts
    Top 2021 Missouri Work Zones with Traffic Impacts Northwest District • Interstate 29: Replacement of the northbound Hopkins Creek Bridge in Andrew County. Traffic is currently being directed head-to-head in the in the southbound lanes over the Interstate 29 Hopkins Creek Bridge. Motorists traveling I-29, just north of St. Joseph, can expect delays traveling both northbound and southbound as all traffic is restricted to one lane in each direction through the work zone. This project is part of Gov. Mike Parson’s $351 million Focus on Bridges program, which will repair or replace 250 bridges across the state. • I-229: A resurfacing project which spans from I-29 north of St. Joseph in Andrew County, to Route 371 (22nd Street in St. Joseph) in Buchanan County. Interstate 229 will remain open through the project, but one lane may be closed in either direction. Some of these single-lane and ramp closures could occur at times. A 10-foot width restriction is in place for the duration of the project. The project is expected to continue through September. • U.S. Route 36: A resurfacing and guardrail improvement project of more than 10.5 miles through St. Joseph between the Missouri River Bridge to 0.75 miles east of Route AC (Riverside Road). U.S. Route 36 will remain open through the project, but one lane may be closed in either direction as well as occasional ramp closures. A 12-foot width restriction is in place for the duration of the project. The project is expected to continue through early August.
