The Indiana Department of Transportation will hold a public information meeting on July 15 for the planned Taylorsville Rest Area truck parking conversion project in Bartholomew County.
The meeting will take place at Ivy Tech Community College in the Community Room (4475 Central Avenue, Columbus, Ind., Room 130) and will provide an opportunity for the public to interact with the project team and receive the latest updates on the project. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. to allow attendees time to view displays and talk with project personnel prior to a presentation that will begin at 6 p.m.
The project aims to reduce truck parking congestion at the Taylorsville Rest Areas by providing sufficient parking capacity and improved facilities to support the current and projected traffic volume. Proposed construction for the project is currently anticipated to begin in fall 2025.
The Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) plan for the project will require a full closure of the existing Taylorsville Rest Area ramps and facilities. The rest area closures are anticipated to take up to approximately 23 months. Both the northbound and southbound rest areas will be closed at the same time. Traffic on I-65 northbound and I-65 southbound will be maintained for the duration of the project.
Questions can be submitted to Imtiyaz Dalal with Janssen & Spaans Engineering, Inc. at idalal@jsengr.com, or via mail at 9120 Harrison Park Court, Indianapolis, Indiana (46216).
Project information, including the presentation will be available online at bit.ly/TaylorsvilleRestAreaConversion.
