US 30 carries about 16,000 cars west of Warsaw and between 20-25,000 east of there. While it may makes sense to build interchanges at select points on that route, I don’t think is justifies being upgraded to a freeway.
For comparison, US 37 carries 40,000 cars per day north of 146th St. Keystone Ave in Carmel carries over 60,000 cars just north of 96th St. Rockville Rd. carries 30-40,000 people per day. 146th St. carries 30,000 per day at Hazeldell. US 31 carries a bit over 30,000 per day at 236th St.
Hamilton County local governments have been forced to pay a major share of upgrading Keystone and SR 37 to freeways – and this for much heavier traveled routes. I estimate that converting Keystone Ave in Carmel to a freeway cost about $175-180 million total, of which the state only paid $90 million – half the price. Local governments are also shouldering a large of the burden on SR 37.
Given what the state forced local governments to chip in on much more heavily traveled routes, how much will the local governments along US 30 be expected to pay towards the cost of this proposed upgrade?
Those stats are very helpful in providing context. Is there a delineation between passenger vs commercial (semi-trailer) usage? Perhaps that nuance would better explain potential safety concerns/issues on US 30?
As Biomet is an existing $7-8 Billion company, the investment does make sense, not to mention losing the $7B Steel Dynamics, and the proposed new Ev battery and tech companies that are to move into that part of the state. The governor needs to make it a priority, lame duck or not.
Hamilton County bares responsibility for its exploded population growth and absolutely SHOULD be on the hook for the upgrades that Aaron mentioned in his comment, just as Fishers should have been held more responsibile in recent years too. But they have nothing to do with the article. The article is about -commercial- traffic on US 30 that travels from Chicago thru IN to OH. It is every bit a state-level freeway problem that needs to be addressed.
