Linking Lookout (US 6 & 19th St. Interchange)
Engineers have collected data and will complete a performance report for City Council by Dec. 15 on highway performance over the next two weeks, and will complete and after-project report.
The project website remains up and active until we complete a few follow-up activities:
1) A traffic study to verify that the intersection is working as expected
2) A noise study to verify the noise modeling that was done prior to construction.
Results of those efforts will be posted to the website when they are complete, in the next month or so. The webcam is no longer active.
