Quote from: Bobby5280 on May 27, 2025, 10:34:15 PMWhich interchange is it? The one on the East side of town or the West side?

The west side (the one with a convoluted route to get onto I-40 EB from Gary Boulevard).

The EB I-40 off-ramp to Gary Blvd looks kind of like a movement in a turbine interchange. The off-ramp's bridge going over the I-40 main lanes looks old as hell. The design looks like it dates back to at least the 1960's, if not older. Unless the entire interchange is re-configured into another type of design it looks like that old bridge may be the only structure that gets replaced. The other ramps might get some new pavement.

I really don't like the WB I-40 arrangement in that location. The on-ramp from Neptune Drive onto WB I-40 is really close to the next exit ramp from WB I-40 to Gary Blvd. The end of either ramp is only 1000' apart. I'll bet serious traffic weaving issues occur there, even with Clinton being a small town. In a bigger city those ramps would have to be braided to eliminate the weaving conflicts.
