The dedicated ramp will get rid of the line of vehicles that wait to turn
New ramps will reduce the run-off-the-road crashes:
Changing the angles will allow for better, more controlled entrance/exit
Lengthened accelerations lanes will also improve conditions
The bridge replacements will allow for:
Relocation of the bridge piers that block the view of on-coming traffic
Improved bridges that will last another 60 years or more
Improvements at I-90 and Hwy 52 interchange
