The goal of Level 1 Screening was to identify options within each alternative family that would meet the project need to meaningfully reduce congestion in the I-70 corridor. Screening criteria focused on options that would address mobility and reduce congestion in the I-70 corridor. The Alternate Routes family was screened out as an intermediate step between Level 1 and Level 2 screening because it was determined that it does not provide adequate congestion reduction to improve travel conditions on I-70. All other alternative families were carried forward for Level 2 Screening. Alternatives were screened out if they did not provide any potential to meaningfully reduce congestion or improve mobility in the I-70 corridor.
Implementation includes cost, technology and constructability.
Assumptions used for the criteria are briefly summarized below. Please contact a project team member for a more detailed description of each criterion.
