From I-24 (MP 44) to I-64 (MP 92) is 48 miles ADT 2009 ADT = 30,000 vehicles per 2.2% growth rate 2030 ADT = 48,000 vpd 2009 Average Daily Truck Traffic = 30% or 10,000 Trucks per day Estimated Cost to Widen to 6 lanes = $350 M (does not include rehabilitation of the exist. Pavement)

IDOT conducted a Feasibility Study in Franklin County to investigate adding the 3 rd lane to I-57

Yes, the I-57 traffic warrants an additional lane Widening should be accomplished by widening to the inside : minimizes right of way cost and impacts includes closed drainage where median is less than 64 requires widening of bridges does not impact overhead structures and interchanges Costs (excludes structures & rehabilitation of the existing pavement) Inside Alternate (50 existing median): $890/ft Inside Alternate (64 existing median): $1,030/ft Inside Alternate (80 existing median): $790/ft

Typical Sections : Inside Widening with 64 median (closed drainage in median ) Typical Sections : Inside Widening with 80 median (open drainage in median)

INCLUDES: FED. STIMULUS AND 2009 JUMP START PROJECTS

1. When replacing I- 57 Structures add the 3 rd lane … Underway 2. Rehabilitate I- 57 Pavement ….Underway 3. Begin design work on small fundable contracts to add the third lane, begin to introduce into the program or have ready for new funding initiatives ….Underway

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) estimates that a $1 billion of Federal highway expenditure supports 30,000 jobs which includes direct, supporting, and induced positions, defined as: Construction oriented employment, includes all jobs created by the construction firms that work directly on the project or by the firms that provide direct inputs (paving materials, steel, concrete, etc.) to the construction project; Supporting industries' employment, includes jobs in firms that provide inputs to the industries that directly provide materials and equipment used in highway construction. For example, a firm that produces guard rails is counted as 'construction oriented' employment but the firm that provides the sheet steel to make the guard rails is considered part of 'supporting industries' employment; and Induced employment, includes all of the jobs supported by consumer expenditures resulting from wages to 'construction oriented' and 'supporting industries' employment.

$1 billion of Federal-aid expenditure supported: 10,300 construction oriented jobs; 4,600 supporting industries' jobs; and 15,000 induced employment jobs $350 M in highway expenditures, according to FHWA, should translate into: 3600 construction oriented jobs; 1600 supporting industries' jobs; and 5250 induced employment jobs
