10/2/2023 0 Comments I95 trafficCongestion for non-urban corridors would increase from the current 26 percent impacted to over 55 percent impacted. In addition, virtually 100 percent of the urban segments would be under heavy congestion. Without any further improvements to the corridor, the projected 2035 average daily traffic would be over 133,000, including over 20,000 trucks. Average daily truck traffic is over 10,000 with maximum daily truck traffic reaching as high as over 31,000. The average daily traffic in the entire corridor is over 72,000 with maximum daily traffic reaching as high as over 300,000. Among these 1,040 miles, over 60 percent is currently under heavy congestion. The entire I-95 corridor is 1,917 miles long with approximately 1,040 miles traversing through urban areas. In addition, nearly all the bridges along the corridor would require widening or total replacement. Georgia has already widened or is widening most of its portion of I-95 to six lanes from four. Sections will need substantial rehabilitation and/or reconstruction, including widening from four/six lanes to eight lanes, in the near future to accommodate increasing traffic volumes. Normal Conditions Wet with Freezing Conditions Snow and/or Slush Covered Snow packed/Significant Snow cover Icy Impassable Free Flowing Moderate Traffic. I-95 also functions as a major connection to other interstate and primary highways such as Interstate 10, Interstate 20, Interstate 40, Interstate 64, and Interstate 85.īeginning in 1956, the initial portion of I-95 was constructed. I-95 is a major north-south artery for tourist and freight traffic and carries people and goods into and out of states from Maine to Florida. The I-95 Corridor Coalition proposes Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) enhancements to optimize traffic operations along the corridor. The projects proposed in the application submitted by the 5 states offer the potential for moderate to significant congestion reduction and mobility improvements along I-95 from Washington, D.C. that will accommodate future demand, safety, and reliability. The 5 states propose reconstruction and expansion of a 1,054 mile stretch of I-95 from Florida to Washington, D.C. $800,000 in Transportation, Community, and System Preservation (TCSP) funds for the North Carolina Interstate Congestion Detection System.$21 million in Interstate Maintenance Discretionary (IMD) funds for improvements along the I-95 corridor.The I-95 Corridor Coalition and the Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia DOTs (5 states).
