The ProPEL U.S. 30 East study team is once again asking for Hoosiers' input as it starts the alternatives analysis and screening phase in the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) Planning and Environment Linkage (PEL) study along U.S. 30 in northern Indiana.
The ProPEL U.S. 30 East study area extends for approximately 58 miles from Beech Road in Marshall County to the Indiana/Ohio state line in Allen County, with portions within I-69 and I-469 around the north side of Fort Wayne excluded from the study.
This Universe of Alternatives (Level 1) Screening Report has been prepared for the ProPEL U.S. 30 East study and is based on data collection efforts that began in August 2022, as well as from feedback received from ongoing public and stakeholder involvement received to date. ProPEL US 30 East study information will be used to help direct future investment in the corridor with both long and short-term improvements. This will require future federal environmental reviews conducted in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
The ProPEL U.S. 30 East study team began seeking public comments for the Universe of Alternatives on Nov. 13, 2023. INDOT is accepting public comments online, in person and by mail through Friday, Dec. 22, 2023.
