Project information:
A traffic noise study was conducted to assess the traffic noise environment associated with the proposed alternative for the US-23 improvement study, located in Washtenaw County. The proposed alternative, called Safely Connecting Communities, includes rebuilding two lanes of US-23 from I-94 to Geddes Road, improvements to the westbound I-94 ramp to northbound US-23, rebuilding the US-23/M-17 (Washtenaw Avenue) interchange, and associated work on 13 bridges along the US-23 corridor.
The noise study analyzed noise impacts and potential noise mitigation. The draft report and information on MDOT’s noise abatement program are available on MDOT's website.
