The proposed location of L. R. 1023, Section 1, the Beaver Valley Expressway, a limited access highway, extends from its southern terminus on the existing Airport Parkway (L. R. 1057) at the Air Force Base entrance to a connection with Beaver Valley Expressway now under construction in the vicinity of McCutcheon Road. Noise and air pollution are environmental effects that cannot be avoided. The design minimizes as much as possible the effect of noise pollution. Regarding Air pollution, stop and go low speed traffic increases the density of pollution. The proposed smooth flowing, high speed traffic condition tends to reduce the density of air pollution while accommodating a larger volume of traffic.
