Project Purpose & Need Purpose of project is to enhance safety and traffic capacity within
the corridor Construct a full cloverleaf interchange with roads on Lloyd Expressway
at U.S. 41 Eliminate at-grade intersections and traffic signals on Lloyd Expressway
at U.S. 41
The primary need for this improvement is due to the following factors;
Delays on Lloyd Expressway caused by the signalized intersections at two ramp junctions
Number of traffic accidents experienced at or near the ramp junction intersections

Barrier abatement was determined to be feasible in the southeast and southwest quadrants, and not feasible in the northeast and northwest quadrants.
A survey was distributed to all affected property owners. Of the receivers surveyed for all quadrants 46%, less than the
majority (50%+1), favored the construction of barrier walls. The survey results were also evaluated by quadrant. In the
southwest quadrant, 80% of the receivers surveyed indicated they favored barrier walls.
Noise barrier walls were considered to be reasonable only for the southwest quadrant.
No other noise mitigation is reasonable or feasible for the project.
Noise AnalysisNoise Analysis was conducted in accordance with Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) Traffic Noise Policy
Maintenance Of Traffic
The project will be constructed under traffic on both US 41 and SR 62/66.
Traffic will be maintained by phasing construction.
Access to all interchange ramps shall be maintained at all times during construction.
Access to businesses along relocated Division/Canal Street shall be maintained at all times during construction of that segment.
Phases I and II: Construct Street Connectors, and Cul-de-sacs Construct US 41 Northbound Construct northeast connector and loop ramp
Phases III and IV: Construct US 41 Southbound Construct southwest connector and loop ramp
Phases V and VI: Construct Division St. Construct SR 62/66 Westbound and Eastbound
Phases VII and VIII: Construct northwest connector and loop ramp Construct southeast connector and loop ramp
