Summary
The Federal Highway Administration and Indiana DOT are planning a new highway between I-64 at Dale and SR 56 in Haysville, Indiana, to improve travel and business connections in Southern Indiana. They’re starting a detailed environmental study for Section 2 of this project and want your comments by July 1, 2026. This step helps make sure the new road is safe for people and nature before building begins.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Large Land Take and Relocations Expected
The Tier 2 Screening reports anticipated right-of-way acquisition of about 1,462 to 1,596 acres and between 41 and 82 total building relocations (residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural, and public use). The Draft EIS will refine locations and access for the preferred alternative.
Farmland, Wetland, and Forest Impacts
Alternatives in the Screening report showed anticipated impacts of about 869 to 935 acres of agricultural land, 55 to 90 acres of wetlands, and 327 to 362 acres of non-wetland forest. The EIS will evaluate these resource impacts in detail.
New Highway Built in Dubois County
FHWA and INDOT plan to build a new south-to-north arterial road between Interstate 64 (I-64) at Dale and State Road 56 (SR 56) at Haysville in Dubois County, Indiana. The project is the Tier 2 study for Section 2 of the Mid-States Corridor and will evaluate multiple build alternatives within a 2,000-foot corridor.
Freight and Employee Access Improvements Planned
The Tier 2 Purpose and Need includes goals to increase the efficiency of freight operations and improve employee access to Dubois County businesses, as part of completing Section 2 of the Mid-States Corridor.
