INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Department of Transportation will hold a public information meeting on the Pendleton Pike Progress intersection improvement project and speak with project team members. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. for public meeting presentation beginning at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 19. It will be held in the Public Assembly Room at City of Lawrence Government Center, located at 9001 East 59th St.
Pendleton Pike Progress is an Indiana Department of Transportation project along five miles of U.S. 36 between I-465 and 65th Street. It is expected to focus left turns to high-traffic areas, improving safety and traffic flow. A review of crash reports over three years found multiple areas with crash rates and severity higher than the statewide average.
The project also includes intersection improvements at 56th Street. Local cross streets are expected to be realigned to make it easier for drivers to turn and see oncoming traffic. The project would also connect sidewalks in the area.
Pendleton Pike Progress is in the environmental and design stage. Construction is expected to begin no earlier than 2024 and last up to two years.
