I-229 St. Joseph Study

<< < (13/13)

The Ghostbuster:
Would it be possible to reconstruct the existing double-decked freeway segment as a single-deck freeway? Or isn't there enough room for a single deck along the riverfront?

Bobby5280:
To me it doesn't look like there is enough room -at least not without the road actually extending outward past the river's edge. At the South end of the double-deck structure there are power lines running pretty close on the in-board/East side of the highway. Farther North the railroad gets in the way. A re-build that featured current Interstate quality lane and shoulder widths (along with adding any capacity, such as 3 lanes in each direction) would require a structure that straddled over the river.

I hope 229 doesn't go away. I love going through there in my truck and I think the double decker bridge is awesome. Anyone that stays on 29 is boring.  :bigass:
