KEY: N = data do not exist; R = revised.
a A Type I barrier is built on a highway project to
construct a new highway or to physically alter an existing highway.
b A Type II barrier is built to abate noise along an
existing highway (often referred to as retrofit abatement) and is not mandatory.
c All other types of barriers are nonfederally funded.
d Have not been assigned a year of construction or
a cost.
NOTES: Miles have been converted from kilometers.
Totals may not match the sum of yearly estimates due to rounding
and converting from metric. 24 miles of barriers, while assigned a year of construction,
cannot be assigned a cost. Data are produced on a 3-year cycle.
