More than half of these collisions involved injuries, and one was fatal. As part of the modernization of the corridor, the facility will be designed to current standards with new median barrier – protecting both directions (median barrier exists only for westbound traffic today), pier protection on I-44 under the US-75 and Union Avenue bridges, new bridge rail on all the replaced bridges, new barrier wall and impact
