S.R. 101 Corridor Improvement Feasibility Study
The Indiana Department of Transportation has initiated a study of transportation needs and opportunities in the State Route 101 corridor in Southeastern Indiana. The objectives of this study are to assess the feasibility of improvements to the S.R. 101 corridor between U.S. 50 and Markland Dam, as well as other alternatives for improving mobility in Southeastern Indiana. Specifically, the study will:
- Establish the need for improving north-south transportation facilities within the study area (including Dearborn, Ohio, and Switzerland counties and potentially, Jefferson and Ripley counties);
- Develop and analyze basic improvement plans, including a comprehensive evaluation of the transportation and regional economic impacts of these alternatives; and
- Make recommendations to INDOT on the programming of improvement projects.
