LEGAL NOTICE PLANNED IMPROVEMENT
The Board of Morgan County Commissioners have developed preliminary plans for the proposed replacement of Morgan County Bridge No. 29 carrying Mahalasville Road over Indian Trace Creek. The project is located on Mahalasville Road in Morgan County, Indiana, approximately 0.30 mile (1,584 feet) west of Hassetown Road. It is within Jackson Township, on the 1998 Morgantown, IN, USGS Topographic Quadrangle, in Section 33, Township 11 North, Range 2 East.
The project includes replacing the existing bridge and reconstructing the approach roadway. A three span concrete reinforced slab structure will be constructed. The substructure units will be integral end bents and wall piers. The bridge will have a clear roadway width of 30.0 feet with reinforced concrete approach slabs. The bridge will carry two 11.0 foot travel lanes and two 4.0 foot shoulders. Bridge rail will be installed and the out-to-out coping width will be 33 feet. The proposed structure is sized to improve the existing hydraulic opening. The proposed structure will have a length of 51.75 feet. The integral end bents and pier caps will be constructed on deep pile foundations and protected by riprap. The roadway profile grade will be maintained.
Standard transition, approach, and terminal railing with an end treatment will be installed in the southeast, northwest, and northeast quadrants. The southwest quadrant will consist of a transition and a curved w- beam terminal end treatment. Full depth pavement reconstruction will extend approximately 135 feet west from the centerline of the structure and 140 feet east from the centerline of the structure. The proposed roadway will consist of two paved 11 foot travel lanes and two 4.33 paved shoulders. The alignment and profile grade will support a 55 mph design speed. The drainage in each quadrant of the project will flow into Indian Trace Creek maintaining the existing drainage pattern. The existing ditch in the southwest quadrant will be reconstructed, and a ditch in the southeast quadrant will be constructed to obtain positive roadside drainage.
Mahalasville Road will be closed to traffic during construction and a marked detour route will be placed to maintain traffic. The detour route will utilize Whetstine Road and Old Railroad Road. The detour route is approximately 6.75 miles in length and will be in place 12 months. Access to all properties will be maintained throughout construction. Project stakeholders including local school corporation(s) and emergency services will be notified of potential closures and/or detours prior to any construction.
Construction of the project will require approximately 0.78 acre of new permanent right-of-way and 0.004 acre of temporary right-of-way with an estimated cost of $ 1,679,000. Federal and states funds are to be utilized for the construction of the project. The Federal Highway Administration and INDOT have agreed that this project falls within the guidelines of a Categorical Exclusion (CE) Level 2 environmental document with no significant impacts to wetlands. Preliminary design plans along with the CE Level 2 are available for review at the following locations:
