September 11, 2021 <br />Page 68 <br />Methodology <br />Three locations were evaluated using Synchro peak hour (a.m. and p.m.) models: I-94/Highway 101 <br />interchange, Dayton Parkway/I-94 interchange, and Armstrong Boulevard/I-94 interchange. At <br />each location, daily forecasts were used to develop turning movement forecasts under no -build and <br />build scenarios. Intersection delays and network delays were obtained from the Synchro models. The <br />delays provided an understanding of potential operational improvement under each scenario. <br />The study's operational analysis also included an evaluation of congestion duration on the Highway <br />169 river crossing connecting Anoka and Champlin. Since the corridor is congested multiple hours <br />per day, a maximum throughput in each direction at the river crossing was determined using the <br />corridor's existing volume profile. The feasibility analysis team then used year 2040 traffic forecasts <br />to calculate the number of hours northbound and southbound lanes would be at maximum <br />throughput under no -build and build scenarios. <br />Northwest Metro Mississippi River Crossing Feasibility Analysis <br />
