Hamilton County government officials recently cut the ribbon on the final phase of the 146th Street construction project. The east/west artery is now four lanes stretching from Interstate 69 to the Hamilton-Boone county line.
According to county officials, an estimated 36,000 vehicles per day travel the 146th Street corridor. The 16.5-mile project was completed in four parts and first began in 1998.
The total project cost sits at just over $90 million. Portions of the funding came from the Federal Highway Administration, the Indianapolis Metropolitan Planning Organization and the Indiana Department of Transportation.
