INDOT Public Hearing on US41

The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) will hold a public hearing on Monday, March 26, 2012 at 6:00p.m. in the Community Room (E-100) located at Ivy Tech Community College, 8000 South Education Drive, Terre Haute, Indiana.

The purpose of this public hearing is to offer all interested persons an opportunity to comment on current design plans for the proposed U.S. 41 auxiliary lanes, approximately 0.5 mile south of I-70 at Johnson Avenue, to 0.3 mile south of I-70 at Davis Avenue, with proposed intersection improvements at Davis Avenue and Honey Creek Parkway, located in Terre Haute, Vigo County.  The total project length is approximately 0.4 mile.

The proposed project will include a third southbound through lane from Johnson Avenue to Davis Avenue with all lanes being 11 feet wide and shoulders that will vary from three to five feet.  The existing pavement will be removed and resurfaced on both the north and southbound lanes.  The exiting median will be replaced with a four foot curbed median.  Storm sewer inlets will also be added at the new curbed median and minor modifications made to the existing storm sewer north of Davis Avenue.  The open ditches south of Davis Avenue will not be impacted by this project and there will be no change in the existing drainage patterns.  Additional project design detail will be presented during the public hearing.

A copy of the environmental document and preliminary design plans are available for viewing at the following location:
