A county in the Tri-State area is looking for public feedback on plans to improve the connection between two major highways. The project is still in its initial phase. Construction on the project is not expected to start for several years.
What we know
- Planners have developed six proposals to improve the connection between Interstates 71 and 75 in the northern half of Warren County.
- Each proposal has its own advantages and drawbacks, including environmental considerations and the need for new or existing roads.
- Improvements to intersections and other chokepoints, such as roundabouts, will be needed to move traffic more efficiently.
- A yearlong study will analyze options for including bike and pedestrian infrastructure, such as sidewalks and dedicated bike lanes, in the project.
- The project will require an environmental document, which will be a challenging aspect of the planning process due to terrain and archaeological issues in the area.
