Purpose of the Public Open House• Opportunity to provide input throughout the Environmental Process
• Discuss key issues
• Promote collaboration
• Build understanding and support throughout the project

Reasons for the Project• Several Key Movements have insufficient capacity which creates
congestion and excessive delays.Inadequate I-465 and I-69 mainline capacity to accommodate existing and
future traffic volumesI-465 East to I-69 North movement experiences a long queue due to a single
lane, low speed loop rampI-465 to I-69 North movements conflict with traffic exiting at 82nd St.I-69 South to I-465 West ramp merges with I-465 West at the same time the
outside ramp lane dropsTraffic using 82nd St. entrance ramp to access Binford South must cross all I-69
to I-465 traffic
• Safety – Over 1,100 crashes occurred between 2011 and 2013. Contributing factors include congestion, excessive delays and inadequate weaving distances throughout the project area.

Alternative AnalysisThe Preferred Alternative Selection is based on many factors including:
• Safety
• Traffic Operations analysis
• Optimize Value
• Constructability
• Environmental considerations
• Public and Stakeholder Input
Note: The proposed project is just getting under way, and many design elements (such as maintenance of traffic) are preliminary and being considered as part of the Alternatives Analysis.
