This study aims to investigate the long-term impacts of bypasses on small- and medium-sized communities in Indiana. Interviews were conducted with community officials and individuals familiar with the history of each bypassed community. Statistical models were developed to analyze economic impacts across a number of key indicators including payroll and employment in various industry sectors. Lessons learned from this study vary from county to county and across industry sectors. The findings of this study will be used to develop a concise guide that will provide guidance to both Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) officials and community officials as to how to best adapt to the presence of the bypass.

This report presents an analysis of the effects of highway bypasses on the business activities of a sample of small Texas cities. An initial explanatory analysis (using a before-and-after method, matched pairs, and projected development) did not reveal a significant relationship between highway bypass construction and a change in business volumes. It can be concluded that business volumes in the more rapidly growing cities with imperfect infrastructure and relatively high local traffic benefit from highway bypass construction. On the other hand, initial econometric modeling demonstrated that a highway bypass can have a statistically significant negative effect on business volumes in the small Texas cities that were studied. The results of the econometric modeling show that the way in which a business community responds to a highway bypass is complex. The major factor determining business volumes is the city's population.

"The purpose of this review was to update and review the highway bypass literature since 1994 with a view to understanding the longer‐term economic impacts of highway bypass roads and how communities have adapted and changed in response to these impacts. Focus was on literature that, with one exception, has assessed impacts long after completion of a highway bypass road. The aim was to understand those factors that influence the economic impacts of highway bypasses on communities in the longer‐term and to provide the proponent, and community, with more up‐to‐date indicators that could be considered when planning and designing bypasses. The review examined three key areas of highway bypass impacts – economic impacts, social impacts and community response and mitigation measures."--Executive summary.

Case studies of the economic impacts of highway bypasses on individual towns are needed since the effects of bypasses may vary a great deal from place to place. The objectives of this report were for a sample of small Kansas towns that have highway bypasses, (1) assess the impact of the bypass on the towns' total employment, (2) measure the impact on retail sales of the towns' travel-related businesses, (3) measure the impact on employment of the towns' travel-related businesses, (4) measure the impact on labor cost per employee of the towns' travel-related businesses, and for the Kansas counties that contain the sample of small Kansas towns that have bypasses, (5) assess the incremental impact on the county's road maintenance expenditures of assuming maintenance responsibility for the previous road alignment.

A state-of-the-art appraisal was made of studies conducted throughout the United States concerning the economic impact of various types of freeway facilities. The largest volume of literature occurs in the analysis of the effects of bypasses, particularly upon small communities. Next in significance to the bypass studies are the urban freeway studies, which have dealt mainly with land value changes in various distance bands from an urban radial freeway and at different distances from the central focus of the urban region. The few studies dealing with circumferential roads in urban areas are too diverse in their nature to lead to any integrated results. Some general guidelines for conducting future impact studies are discussed and areas for future research are proposed.
