520    $a A four-lane arterial bypass was first envisioned in the 1970s as part of Dubuque's long-range transportation plan.  For the Northwest Arterial, construction started in the early 1980s with a connection to the Dubuque Industrial Center West, not far north of Dodge Street.  The Northwest Arterial was completed as a 4-lane extension in 2002, allowing a bypass from U.S. 52 to U.S. 20.  The Northwest Arterial was successful in attracting development, including retail shopping, the Medical Associates Clinic's West Campus, several business parks and a number of residential subdivisions.  However, some view the increase in traffic and subsequent installation of signals as negatively impacting the concept of a bypass arterial.  The Southwest Arterial (IA 32) was originally envisioned to connect with the Northwest Arterial at U.S. 20, providing a continuous bypass.  The terrain made the construction of the Southwest Arterial significantly more difficult, and with the increased difficulty came increased costs.  The alignment was changed (after multiple years of location studies, public involvement and assessment of environmental impacts) to connect with Seippel Road.  One major impetus for the route change was the presence of an active quarry directly opposite the Northwest Arterial on the southeast side of U.S. 20.  An Environmental Assessment was completed in 1999, and a supplement was completed in 2003.  A Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) was signed by FHWA on December 20, 2004.  Preliminary engineering has proceeded from that point until the time of this Value Engineering Study.  Future traffic volumes (design year 2030) range up to nearly 19,000 vehicles per day (to the east of U.S. 20).  Interchanges are proposed at U.S. 20, U.S. 61 and at a new connector road linking North Cascade Road with English Mill Road.  The Southwest Arterial will run approximately 6.1 miles in length between U.S. 20 and U.S. 61.  The project is aimed at reducing traffic on local streets which cuts through from U.S. 61 to U.S. 20 (via Kelly Lane and other routes) and to improve travel time and safety between the routes, especially for truck traffic.  In the original 1999 EA, the estimated construction cost was under $49 million.  Now, for the future construction year, the costs have escalated to over $112 million.  Since the project costs exceed the threshold for value engineering, the client initiated a Value Engineering Study.  The draft report was a synopsis of both the value engineering process and the recommendations.  Value engineering meetings were held August 10-14, 2009.  The presentation was held on August 14.  The Review Team met on August 26 to make decisions regarding the recommendations.  This final report includes those recommendations accepted by the Review Team.
