Latest from ProPEL Indy
In September, we reached a key milestone the study process, the release of the draft Alternatives Identification and Screening report which identifies and evaluates potential improvements to address aging infrastructure, safety, mobility, and multimodal connectivity on I-65 and I-70 in Indianapolis. A brief video overview of the report is below. The full report is available here for your review.
Public comments on the report were accepted through October 5, 2025. The study team is currently reviewing feedback from all stakeholders to update and finalize the report.
ProPEL Indy is expected to conclude in late 2025 with the publication of the PEL Study Report, which will document the study process and include a range of reasonable alternatives for INDOT to consider for development of future projects.
Alternatives carried forward from the study will require further analysis to determine if they are reasonable solutions to the area’s transportation needs. Multiple factors, including the urgency of identified needs, statewide priorities, and funding availability, will be considered when identifying future projects in the study area.
We encourage you to stay engaged with the study as it moves forward, subscribe for updates here.
