Don’t miss this great opportunity to learn about the challenges and triumphs of designing one of the first oval interchanges built in the United States and the ONLY ONE built over an interstate.
United Consulting’s Jeromy Richardson, PE and Bill Curtis, PE will present a session showcasing “The New Interchange at I-69 and 106th Street” during Purdue’s 104th Annual Road School.
The oval configuration concept initially sparked extensive scrutiny and review. INDOT, FHWA, and other industry experts examined the design and traffic analysis. Their analysis and meetings resulted in a collaboration for designing an oval interchange with exceptional geometrics and well thought-out design elements. Ultimately, the process resulted in verifying the oval interchange as a valid solution for the new interchange.
