  The Borman Expressway Project
The Borman Expressway in Lake Co., Indiana is considered as a case study (test-bed) for this project.
Since the Borman Expressway is a major expressway traveling east and west and the city of Chicago is to the west of the sampling location, traffic in the westbound direction will naturally continue to increase in volume.
The earlier phases of this project found that the Borman Expressway supplied on average 77% of the CO and 72% of the PM as determined by modeling and regression analysis of traffic and environment data (SPR-2338).

The duration of this study was from January 15, 2002 to June 1, 2002, which included two different traffic data locations, milepost 2.5 and 5.9, and one ambient environmental station, milepost 4.1.
The mobile ambient air sampling laboratory located 45.7 meters (150 feet) south of the Borman Expressway at milepost 4.1 monitored with a ten-second integrated average eight different environmental parameters including: PM2.5, CO, wind speed, wind direction, cumulative rainfall, relative humidity, wet and dry bulb temperatures.
