Revised Alternative Designation
Reasons for Elimination
A A1 A2 B
C* D
E1
Impacts bat mitigation areas near I-70/SR 267 interchange. Major reconstruction of I-70/SR 267 interchange with significant impact would be needed to accommodate I-69 and maintain safe SR 267 local access.
E2
Major reconstruction of I-70/Airport interchange with significant impact would be needed to accommodate I-69 and maintain airport access. Possible violation of protection zone for future airport runway.
F1 F2
F3 Impacts development near US 31 and has multiple creek crossings near Franklin. F1 and F2 are superior. G1 G2
H High impacts on development and on existing I-65 interchanges.
I High impacts on development and on existing I-65 interchanges.
J
Major reconstruction of I-70/Ameriplex Parkway interchange with significant impact would be needed to accommodate I-69 and maintain safe local access. Bat mitigation areas and streams near the interchange make this extremely difficult. Long floodway crossing of White River would be expensive.
K1
K2
Long and expensive floodway crossing of White River. Indirect routing of I-69 would likely result in many continuing to use SR 37. Other K alternatives are superior.
K3
L
Multiple engineering issues, including impacts to development along SR 67, expense of accommodating railroad along SR 67, and I-69/I-465 interchange that would be too close to existing I-70/I-46 interchange.
