I-81 Improvement Strategy – A Playbook to Set Priorities

Overview

Phase 2, Concept Development, is currently in progress and includes a more detailed evaluation of the top ranked Focus Areas in each MPO to define candidate projects. This also includes the identification of “Quick Strike” improvement projects that address corridor wide incident management strategies and traffic operation strategies.

The I-81 Improvement Strategy will serve as a playbook for setting priorities and funding future projects as resources become available through the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP).
