Indiana highway reroutes

[silverback1065]

Well I can now confirm that SR 26 ends at US231/52 and picks up again at I-65.  SR25 does the exact same thing.  SR 38 just ends alone at old 52.  No idea about 43 but I'm pretty sure it will be cut back to I-65 and I know 443, 526, and 126 will all die.  New signage is up for 52 mostly.  I don't understand why they didn't fix the teal road corridor, at least repave it! And fix that confusing intersection at teal and 4th street.  Anyway the new bypass is a great road, very much needed.

Ok I can understand decommissioning SR 25 SR 43 and SR 443, 126, 526 being truncated or eliminated within the city limits, but rerouting US-52 away from Sagamore parkway makes absolutely ZERO sense, especially since following Sagamore parkway is the more direct route and is the bypass around Lafayette. I dont think this transfer was the way to go. It is too bad that the state cannot transfer the portion to the city and still have it signed as US-52. Still have it classified as a FA-US-52 Federal Aid highway, but then the city is now responsible for that section of the road, not the state. In My opinion its the wrong move. SR-38 should be truncated back to the interstate.

Also since the US-52 and US 231 now make a turn at the north end of the bypass instead of having a nice sweeping turn, is there plans to extend the bypass northward to I-65 north of lafayette, routing US-231 to the interstate...

a huge piece of sr 267 is now gone.

[tdindy88]

So SR 267 now has two seperate segments with two endpoints at county roads. I'd guess it would be Green Street in Brownsburg, but what's the name of the road in Avon?

[NWI_Irish96]

I always figured that SR 267 would get the axe and that Reagan Parkway would become a state highway.

[elsmere241]

Yes, it makes for a very odd circumstance that a state highway just ends at some random intersection. 

Maryland does that a lot.

[silverback1065]

especially since the northern endpoint in brownsburg is like 100yards north of 74

[silverback1065]

SR 312 is also either gone completely or doesn't exist in hammond anymore.  Why won't they rid themselves of the worthless sr 340?

267 does end at 74, signage in the field confirms it, not sure about what's going on in plainfield though

Clay County doesn't want SR 340. SR 340 is a very nice scenic way to go (part of the National Road). I prefer driving on 340, rather than on 40.

In the greater Lafayette area there have been numerous route changes. First, US 52 has been routed along the US 231 bypass and across on Teal Rd. back to the Sagamore Pkwy (which I think isn't a good idea ). Second SR 25 has been split with one terminus at I-65 and another terminus at US 231. Third SR 26 has been split with one terminus at the new US231/52 and another terminus at I-65 (which I also think isn't a good idea  ). Fourth the northern segment of SR 43 has been shortened to a new terminus at I-65 and SR 443 has been decommissioned. Back to silverback1065's question: "Does anyone have any idea why US 52 is going to be routed onto teal road in Lafayette (and later onto 231) along with SR25 and 26?  I don't get why they would full all of that through traffic for 3 highways all onto one road, especially US 52 and the semis that would use 52." As mentioned before, SR 25 and 26 are split and not routed onto Teal Rd. But I have seen almost no truckers use the Teal Rd. routing, most of them continue to use the Sagamore Pkwy. (Old US 52).
Hope this helps!

I can't speak specifically to Teal Rd. because I've never driven on it or if I have it's been so long ago that I don't remember it.  I do know that INDOT is trying to turn over all routes through the larger cities to local control, and of course INDOT's policy is that they are only going to sign routes that they maintain. 

[PurdueBill]

I used to live near there; Teal Road is a very strange choice vs. CR 350 S or something, but Teal was already on the books as 25 before, so it's probably easier than taking one road from the county and giving one back to Lafayette.  Teal goes down to two lanes, passes the fairgrounds and Jeff High School as well as shopping centers.  While 350 S has a number of lights and shopping centers as well, it doesn't have the school and fairgrounds to pass.  Strange to want to route the traffic by there...  (I remember when 350 S had virtually nothing along it.  Now it's ultra-built up.)

What good are the route numbers if they disappear and reappear?  Seems like INDOT ought to pursue being able to route numbered routes over city roads like some states do.

Some indiana news: ronald reagan pwky has funding for the stretch between 30th st and i-74. Also sr 267 will be getting a new name in avon soon they have a survey monkey link out to submit 3 names of your choice. Anyone familiar with the area have any ideas for the new name? I drove the route a few days ago and sr 267 is signed from 74 north to 65 and from us 40 south to sr 67. The small piece north of 40 in Plainfield is unsigned.

here's the survey link, it's near the bottom right: http://www.avongov.org/egov/documents/1395071868_93683.pdf

I'm pretty sure IN 267 ends at IN 42. But it doesn't seem to  be signed in Street View.

[silverback1065]

You're right my mistake

Council voted to recommend Avon Avenue as the new name for SR 267.

Just confirmed that IN-43 ends at I-65. The sign is just south of the interchange.

[silverback1065]

I've been editing that in Google map maker and they keep denying my edit.  On another note, where does the western portion of SR 252 end?  Google maps says at SR 9, but INDOT's inventory says it ends in flat rock, just west of SR 9. 

[tdindy88]

The inventory must be wrong. Last I know, there are SR 252 signs at SR 9 and presumably an end sign there as well. The western end of SR 252 to my knowledge is at SR 37 in Martinsville.

[billtm]

GSV shows an end sign at SR 9.

[dvferyance]

INDOT needs to adopt a policy that a road can be local maintained but still signed as a state highway to avoid confusion. All these illogical endings and split routes are getting out of hand.

[silverback1065]

SR 252 is scheduled to be decommissioned after it is reconstructed between I-65 and SR 9

I'd actually be kinda okay with that decommissioning.
