MONROE CO. — The Indiana Department of Transportation will hold a public information meeting for the intersection improvement project on State Road 37 and Dillman Road on Wednesday, May 17, in Bloomington.
The meeting will be held in the Lamkin Meeting Room at Ivy Tech Community College in Bloomington (200 N Daniels Way, Bloomington, IN 47404). It will provide an opportunity for the public to learn more and ask questions about the project.
The purpose of the project is to improve intersection safety for the traveling public by reducing conflicts between S.R. 37 and Dillman Road traffic, while also considering delays and mobility. The preferred alternative will reconfigure the intersection of SR 37 with Dillman Road by constructing a Reduced Conflict Intersection (RCI) with left turn lanes. The point of an RCI is to greatly reduce ‒ or even eliminate ‒ a significant number of severe crashes common when drivers must cross over busy highways to reach another road. The proposed construction of this project will not require new permanent or temporary right-of-way. It will not include any relocations or displacements.
Doors will open to the public at 5:30 p.m. Project team members will be available to answer questions and provide information about the project. A video presentation will begin at 6 p.m., followed by additional time for the public to interact with the project team.
