A new interchange at the intersection of 29 North and Hydraulic Road to be designed~in a way as not to have significant adverse impact on the bank located at the northeast corner; six lanes on 29 North from Hydraulic Road to 250 Bypass; and improvement to the intersection of 29.North and 250 Bypass to accomodate the traffic in a reasonable manner.
