ROADWORK: Consider shifting whole freeway
How can IDOT consider the ‘issues’ of U.S. 95 in the future without knowing if the Huetter Bypass/Alternate to 95 North -South Route is constructed and in what configuration? Certainly the 95/I-90 intersection is not ideal but altering it so there is no direct access from 95 onto Appleway seems to reflect an incredibly harsh reality for the businesses along Appleway.
The article mentions the widening of I-90 to four lanes each way to approximately Fourth Street and including work on the bridges at Huetter and Atlas. Why not spend the money NOW, with that work, to put in the interchange at Huetter even if the street remains one lane in each direction for a while? See what traffic flow changes come about from an alternative to 95?
