Floyd County, IndianaFloyd County Thoroughfare PlanSection 4–Alternatives EvaluationFigure 4.01-1US 150 Alternate RoutesThe volumes forecasted for the four-lane portion of US 150 south of Lawrence Banet Roadare above the typical four-lane street capacity thresholds. Expansion to a six-lane dividedhighway is recommended for US 150 from I-64 to the intersection with Lawrence BanetRoad. As part of this improvement, the intersection of US 150 and Old Vincennes Roadwould have to be signalized to allow for access to Old Vincennes Road.Impacts of the expansion may include creating a pedestrian and bicycle traffic barrier, aswell as the purchase of private homes and businesses, particularly in the Galena area.Care must be taken to try to avoid creating barriers to pedestrian and bicycle traffic throughthis expansion.7. SR 62/64As part of the future no-build scenario, several improvements were incorporated along theSR 62/64 corridors. The major improvement is the reconfiguration of the SR 64/I-64interchange. This will include the addition of a second ramp lane for the westbound offrampand the eastbound on-ramp of I-64. The reconfiguration also increases the crosssection from W Knable Road to E Knable Road to six lanes. Within the interchange theselanes will consist of one through lane, one through-left lane, and a dedicated left-turn lane.Also the intersection of Tunnel Hill Road will be signalized. Even with these changes, thefuture operations of SR 62/64 are still expected to be poor. There is significant congestionPrepared by Strand Associates, Inc. ® 4-3KRH:pll\S:\@SIECO\001--050\046\008\Wrd\Thoroughfare Plan\Draft 07-19-07\S4-Alternative Evaluation 07-19-07.doc\072007
Floyd County, IndianaFloyd County Thoroughfare PlanSection 4–Alternatives Evaluationand delays along the roadway in both the future AM and PM peak periods. As the roadwayapproaches its capacity, drivers will seek other routes through Floyd County. The roadwaysmost likely to receive traffic diverted from SR 62/64 are shown in Figure 4.01-2 and theyinclude:• Corydon Pike• Lanesville Road (Harrison County)–I-64Figure 4.01-2SR 62/64 Alternate RoutesSome drivers will travel at a different time, use a different mode, or eliminate their tripaltogether. These responses to congestion will reduce motor vehicle travel demand on thissection of SR 62/64 until it equals the roadways capacity.As the congestion increases, the unsignalized intersections will experience pooroperations, and vehicles will have difficulty making left turns from the minor streets ontoSR 62/64. Existing signalized intersections will have to be evaluated for the need ofadditional lanes, added phases, and possible corridor signal coordination.Prepared by Strand Associates, Inc. ® 4-4KRH:pll\S:\@SIECO\001--050\046\008\Wrd\Thoroughfare Plan\Draft 07-19-07\S4-Alternative Evaluation 07-19-07.doc\072007
