HWY 145, PERRY/CRAWFORD COUNTIES, INDIANA
This project involved a completely new alignment to connect I-64 to
the SR 37 interchange (exit 79) north 6.0 miles to just south of the
Norfolk Southern Railroad Bridge, in Perry/Crawford Counties in
Indiana, approximately 50 miles west of downtown Louisville, KY.
The design is a good example of a two lane, paved shoulder, full
depth HMA, with a thirty foot clear zone. The design speed of 60
mph and grades up to 4% through wooded rolling terrain have
produced a new roadway with beautiful scenery. This project
demonstrates the quality and smoothness that can be achieved
with the use of HMA pavement.
