摘要：	Highway construction projects not only impact the traveling public, but can also impact businesses situated adjacent to the construction project. Even though construction projects are temporary situations, businesses worry about the level of impact during construction and the length and magnitude of the associated recovery period. Highway construction impacts on businesses may come in the form of a temporary loss of customers, revenue, and property value as well as the creation of noise, air pollution, and a host of other problems. Phase 1 of the business impacts study attempted to quantify the estimated business impacts for rural areas such as Wyoming. The study investigated the business-related impacts due to twelve highway construction projects in Wyoming. The Phase II research effort is a continuation and refinement of the Phase 1 research. Phase II began with a narrowing of the scope to four current highway construction projects. Just as in Phase 1, perceived impact data was collected through surveys sent to businesses in the four case study projects. Wyoming Department of Revenue (DOR) tax data was used to examine the actual estimated sales data before, during, and after construction. Additionally, traffic volumes were compared to the business owners' perceptions. The result of Phase II of the business impacts study was a more in-depth quantification of actual impacts as well as an analysis of the difference between the actual and perceived impacts that was statistically more significant than the Phase 1 study.
