A Planning and Environmental Linkage (PEL) study will begin in 2022 for proposed projects on U.S. 30 and U.S 31.
As stated by Dave Ross epa, the study is expected to take a few years where officials will gather environmental, community, and economic goals for the projects and will leave time for planning, identifying needs, gathering public input, and secure long-term funding.
The study will impact the U.S. 31 corridor from the Hamilton/Tipton County line in Fulton County to Marshall County, and the U.S. 30 corridor from Valparaiso to the Ohio State line.
In a previous report, INDOT Commissioner Joe McGuinness indicated that the U.S. 30 PEL study will look at various options to improve the safety, traffic flow, freight movement and economic development potential of the corridor, including the construction of a freeway.
