What is a Type II project?
Usually called a retrofit project, a proposed Federal or Federal-aid highway project for noise abatement on an existing highway. Type II projects are not mandatory and are at a States’ discretion. Projects of this type are proposed solely at the option of a SDOT, and specific requirements for the project are determined by the individual SDOT. Federal participation in the funding of such projects is limited to those that propose abatement measures along lands that were developed prior to construction of the original highway. For guidance on a Type II program, please contact the FHWA noise team. Please access our Highway Traffic Noise Analysis and Abatement policy (PDF 325KB) and go to Page 55 of the actual document (or Page 59 of 71 in the Adobe Counter).
