ST LOUIS - MoDOT's contracted research firm, HDR, has released its first quarterly report on the impact of the first two months of the Interstate 64 closure. The report evaluates the areas of communications, mobility and economics during January and February 2008.

The report includes the results of more than 1,700 people who have been surveyed by mail, on-line, and in person through Motorist Assist and at major retail locations. Satisfaction results were high with more than 90 percent reporting they were kept informed on the project with timely information. Three-quarters of respondents also were satisfied with the decision to close the road for two years of impacts instead of six-eight years of construction.

"We are very pleased with the initial results of the research report and surveys. Our efforts to keep people informed and keep traffic moving around the region are recognized and appreciated by the public," said Lesley Hoffarth, MoDOT's I-64 project director. "We strongly value the public's opinion and ask people to continue to take the online survey at least once a quarter for our research."

MoDOT hired HDR in December 2007 to complete a four-year research project on the impacts of the I-64 construction and closure. The research will look at before, during and after conditions on regional traffic mobility and economic impacts. Reports will be released quarterly and are available on the project website at http://www.thenewi64.org/new9_survey.jsp, click on "Take Our Survey" to find a link to the report.

The first quarter report also includes some initial traffic data and analysis. This data is still being evaluated but the initial results show traffic increases on the other interstates as well as increases in transit riders and carpoolers. Lastly, the report includes some initial feedback from business owners on the economic impact. The business survey responses show 97 percent satisfaction with MoDOT's execution of the project. The research team and the business community are collaborating on the best economic measures to evaluate the effects. Most of these reporting mechanisms tend to lag in collection times and will be included in future reports.
