Project Overview
(Click to enlarge)
The proposed project will include the construction of an interchange at US 31 and 236th Street. The project will grade separate 236th Street over US 31 in a tight diamond configuration. US 31 will remain at the same elevation. The ramp terminals will be single-lane roundabouts with single lane exits. The proposed project will provide free flow operations for US 31 through the corridor and will maintain corridor consistency with most other interchanges on US 31 in Hamilton County, providing driver familiarity.
The project has minimized other impacts to the extent practicable, including right of way, wetlands, streams, floodplains, Section 4(f) and cultural resources. The EA documents project impacts – including public and agency involvement – and documents any mitigation commitments for the project.
The tentative timeline for this project moving forward is:
- Environmental Study is Complete – May 2021
- Right-of-Way Acquisition – October 2020 to October 2021
- Contract Letting – July 2021
- Construction – August 2021 to July 2023
