Develop Preliminary Engineering Design and Study the Benefits of Providing an Access to the Indiana Toll Road at State Road 327 near Orland, IN

A new toll road exit is proposed at the intersection of I-80/90 and SR 327 in Orland, Indiana. The new exit is needed to facilitate travel for a proposed manufacturing plant to be established on a 500-acre site east of SR 327 and south of I-80/90. The construction will consist of on and off ramps that connect to both the east and westbound lanes of the toll road and a single toll plaza. There will be a small parking lot and a utility building next to the toll plaza. A bridge will be needed over the toll road so vehicles can access the toll road from the east and west. Finally, the new access road will connect to SR 327 that is already in place. This report includes the preliminary design aspects for the proposed new toll exit, the understanding of the project, what services were provided, and an estimated construction cost for the project.
