BARTHOLOMEW CO. – The Indiana Department of Transportation will hold a public information meeting on Tuesday, July 15, for the planned Taylorsville Rest Area truck parking conversion project in Bartholomew County.
The meeting will take place at Ivy Tech Community College in the Community Room (4475 Central Avenue, Columbus, IN, Room 130). It will allow the public to interact with the project team and receive the latest updates on the project. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. to allow attendees time to view the displays and speak with project personnel before the presentation begins at 6 p.m.
The project aims to alleviate truck parking congestion at the Taylorsville Rest Areas by providing sufficient parking capacity and enhancing facilities to support current and projected traffic volumes. Construction is anticipated to begin in the fall of 2025.
The project’s Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) plan will require the full closure of the existing Taylorsville Rest Area ramps and facilities. The rest area closures are anticipated to last approximately 23 months. Both the northbound and southbound rest areas will be closed simultaneously. Traffic on I-65 northbound and southbound will be maintained throughout the project duration.
Questions can be submitted to Imtiyaz Dalal with Janssen & Spaans Engineering, Inc. at idalal@jsengr.com, or via mail at 9120 Harrison Park Court, Indianapolis, Indiana 46216
