Abstract:

The United States Route 24 (US-24) project represents a long-standing commitment by the states of Ohio and Indiana to improve US-24 between Fort Wayne, Indiana, and Toledo, Ohio. Except in the major urban areas, the US-24 corridor between Fort Wayne and Toledo is a rural two-lane arterial roadway. Nicknamed the “Fort to Port,” US-24 provides a crucial link in the transportation network for the movement of goods to and from the Port of Toledo. The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) and the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) proposed to relocate approximately 41 mi of US-24 and expand it to a new four-lane, limited-access highway (freeway in Indiana and expressway in Ohio). This new roadway will run between New Haven and Defiance, one of three segments of US-24 slated for improvement. By agreement, ODOT was the lead agency for the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process. The US-24 environmental impact statement (EIS) was one of Ohio’s first projects to use the new “9-Step Transportation Development Process” (TDP). The project management team’s commitment to keep the project moving, extensive and consistent outreach to the stakeholders throughout the process, and the team’s willingness to listen to and address public and agency concerns brought the project to fruition.
