Project Description:  The Ronald Reagan Parkway is multi-lane rural arterial from I-70 to I-74, near Hendricks County, Indiana. This FAST TRACK project provides transportation services to this rapidly developing portion of eastern Hendricks County and western Marion County.  Connection of the corridor to I-74 is a vital part of the overall traffic/congestion management for Hendricks County and the Indianapolis Metropolitan Area.

This project, in development for just six months, included a new diamond Interchange on I-74 in Hendricks County and nearly two-miles of new alignment roadway construction for the County’s five-lane rural Ronald Reagan Parkway corridor from US 136 to 56th Street (CR 600 N).

The interchange is 2.8 miles east of SR 267.  The Ronald Reagan Parkway runs from US 136 (Crawfordsville Road), north to Hendricks County Road 600 North (56th Street).

Project Description:  The US 27 over I-70 bridge is a two-span continuous composite steel plate girder structure with a total length of 182 feet.  It consists of a complex geometry and design with access ramps tying in at each corner of this single point interchange.

This interchange was designed to increase traffic flow by reducing the number of traffic signals to efficiently move traffic to and from the ramps and along US 27 mainline.  Large “edge girder” members were designed with connections to multiple members which carry the forces and moments to the large splice plates which rest on pot bearing s located on either side of the center pier.  More than 430 tons of structural steel and over 2000 cubic yards of concrete were used for this structure.  Curved, open window, decorative bridge railing sits atop the bridge deck, and tinted ashlar block architectural treatment accent the pier face and retaining walls below.

Approximate Project Cost:  $2,700,000

Project Description:  Rehabilitation of a 100-Year Old Historic earth-filled concrete spandrel arch bridge carrying Ferry Street over Vermont Street and Charles Creek.

This bridge rehabilitation project needed the completion of a Categorical Exclusion, Level 3 / Programmatic Section 4 (f).  This type of environmental documentation was required due to the project’s impact on a bridge identified as a candidate for the National Register of Historic Places.  As a result, the project required exhaustive coordination with Section 106 Consulting Agencies in an effort to satisfy historic concerns.  Stipulations remediating the project’s effect on the bridge were documented in a Memorandum of Agreement.  Additionally, the bridge was also photographically documented in accordance with current standards as stipulated in the project’s Memorandum of Agreement.

Project Description:  The project consisted of the reconstruction of a two-way urban road with a two-way turn lane and two major intersection improvements with one signalization and one roundabout.  The intersection was initially scoped as a signalization, but determined that a roundabout would operate at a higher level of service (LOS) and have safer operations.  The maintenance of traffic for this project included a significant closure on 96th Street which is a heavy commuter route.  The success of the MOT was a result of good communication with the bordering properties, exceptional advanced route detour signing, and disseminated public information.
