  13. Summary Benefit Results from Prioritized Capital Improvements • By deploying $2.2 billion of capital improvements along the I-81 corridor*: • Annual vehicle hours of delay will be reduced, on average, by more than 6 million • Trucks will capture more than 3.6 million vehicle hours of annual delay reductions • Reductions related to construction of capital improvements responsible for more than 90% of these benefits • Annual statistical crashes are anticipated to be reduced, on average, by almost 450 across the entire corridor • Approximately 29% of the reduction in annual statistical crashes (representing almost 130 crashes) involve an injury * Estimated based on the share of vehicle delays generated by projects included in list of $2.2 B improvements compared to total vehicle delays generated by all improvements considered in the corridor.
