The purpose of this project is to provide a safe, efficient, economical and desirable transportation facility for the existing and anticipated traffic volumes for 1990 and beyond. The existing facility is overtaxed and must provide the traffic capacity as well as access for all of the abutting development. The traffic is increasing annually at a steady rate while service has correspondingly deteriorated to a state of perilous operation. Because of physical limitations placed by surrounding bodies of water, no reasonable alternate street or highway is available for relief of the traffic. This is the only east-west corridor in the Madison area south of the city's isthmus. The completed project will provide a modern high-type facility that will offer necessary capacity, service and safety for the design year of 1990 and will give a desired means of direct access to the central business districts of Madison and Monona. The existing Belt Line between Raywood Road and Highway 51 will remain as a local arterial to serve the existing properties and maintain fraffic circulation. Restricting access to the freeway through interchanges creates a higher level of service and maintains safety of operation for the freeway traveler.
