Outstanding decision to elevate Lyndsay Quist to INDOT Commissioner. Her knowledge of the department and her training as an engineer is perfect for her new role. Goes without saying, she likely should have been Braun’s first choice but BETTER LATE THAN NEVER. Best of luck, Commissioner Quist!
One hopes the Crossroads of America will seek to significantly improve roadway operations and maintenance first. Unfortunately, Indiana in the typical American Way is great at building and very poor at maintaining. Regarding interstates, why not 3 lanes in each direction along I-65 for the entire distance between Indianapolis and the Toll Road? Regarding interchanges, please stop building slow, inefficient and dangerous deadly loop ramps when traffic volumes demand directional ramps — one is sure designers have the capacity to design multi-level directional ramp interchanges. Loop ramps are cheap for sure but the cheapest way (Indian!) is typically not the best long-term solution. The I-69/I-465 interchange redo is already out of date before being completed. And just reflect upon how many times the I-70/I-465 (East Side) interchanges has been reconstructed and it still is subpar design.
Yes to three lanes on the entire Indiana length of I 65. But also the entire length of I 70, plus I 69 between Indianapolis and Michigan and I 74 between Indy and Cincinnati. The amount of traffic on these highways more than justifies additional lanes.
