U.S. 33 widening project public meeting details and planned work
The project addresses crash frequency and traffic congestion along the corridor.
INDOT cited level of service F at intersections of C.R. 40 and Plymouth Avenue with U.S. 33. Level of service measures traffic conditions from A, best, to F, worst.
Planned project elements include:
- Full-depth pavement reconstruction near U.S. 33 and C.R. 40.
- Reconstruction from north of Maple City Drive to the northern terminus.
- Milling and resurfacing outside reconstruction zones.
- Added travel lanes and dedicated turn lanes.
- Lane configurations ranging from two to five lanes.
- A multi-use path with a grass buffer from Kercher Road north.
- Reconstructed sidewalks and curb ramps.
- Updated pavement markings, signage and signal modifications.
- Possible new traffic signals along the corridor.
- Stormwater upgrades including curb and gutter, inlets and storm sewer.
- Potential infiltration basins in select areas.
The project would require more than 0.5 acre of new permanent and temporary right-of-way. No relocations are anticipated, according to INDOT.
Construction would occur in phases with temporary lane or sidewalk closures.
INDOT did not outline a construction timeline in its meeting announcement.
