Associated Press
JASPER, Ind. – The preferred route of a proposed highway that would run from the Ohio River to Interstate 69 in southern Indiana is expected to be announced late this year.
That route for the Mid-States Corridor will be identified in a Draft Environmental Impact Statement that should be published in the fall, the corridor s project team said.
Public hearings will be held after that document is published, including a formal comment period, The (Jasper) Herald reported.
After the project team considers all public comments, it will further refine the preferred route in what s known as a Final Environmental Impact Statement. The Federal Highway Administration is expected to select the final corridor for the highway in summer 2022.
