SR 47 Improvements within the Town of Sheridan

SR 47 Reconstruction from Hamilton/Boone County Line to SR 38: Des 1601982 & 2000816

Project Purpose & Need

The need for this project is due to the lack or drainage and poor condition of the existing pavement. The purpose of this project is to create an effective drainage system and restore rideability of the roadway.

  • Resurface SR 47 from Hamilton/Boone County Line to just west of Arrow St.
    • Add 4 ft paved shoulders
  • Fully Reconstruct SR 47 from just west of Arrow Street through the SR 38 intersection
    • Add curb and gutter drainage system
    • Add 5-6ft sidewalk along the south side of SR 47
  • Build a roundabout at SR 47 & SR 38 intersection
  • Realign Mule Barn Rd with California Street
  • Add midblock crossings for pedestrian crossings of SR 47
  • Add enhanced Monon Trail crossing at SR 47
