The Indiana State Highway Commission is also developing
companion projects to link 1-69 south of Fort Wayne with u.S.
30 near New Haven. The Draft Environmental Impact Statements
for the south and southeast portions of the route were approved
by the Federal Highway Administration on July 2, 1976. The
Corridor location Public Hearing for the south and southeast
portions was conducted in Fort Wayne on August 2, 1976. The
development of the northeast portion of the by-pass is being
coordinated with the south and southeast portions.
Although there are other active Federal-aid highway projects
in the Fort Wayne area, none are in conflict with the proposed
circumurban route. There are also other Federal Agency programs
active in Fort Wayne, but none are expected to be in conflict
with the proposed route.
(2) Anticipated environmental impacts include the conversion of
446 to 527 acres of land to highway use. Approximately 417
to 512 acres of prime farm land and/or wildlife habitat will
be committed. The project alternates would displace 13 to 20
families, 0 to 11 businesses and no non-profit organizations.
Predicted traffic noise levels are within the Design Noise
Levels established by the Federal Highway Administration.
Overall pollutant ernmissions are predicted to decrease, with
no expected violation of the National Ambient Air Quality
Standards. Temporary construction oriented impacts include
possible stream siltation, dust and noise. It will be
necessary to relocate portions of as many as four small streams
or ditches. The principal Maumee River and St. Joseph River
crossings are not anticipated to require significant channel
modification. The by-pass is expected to speed anticipated
future residential development within the study corridor.
(3) Line A (12.9 miles) begins approximately 0.75 mile west of New
Haven and continues in a general northerly direction before
curving to the west to intersect 1-69 at the existing Dupont
Road interchange. Line B (12.7 miles) begins approximately
0.5 mile east of New Haven and continues in a northerly direction
before curving to the west to intersect 1-69 at the existing
Dupont Road interchange. Line C (15.0 miles) begins
approximately 1.25 miles east of New Haven and continues in
a northerly direction to near Cedarville before curving to the
west to intersect with 1-69 at a new interchange approximately
2.5 miles north of Dupont Road. The do-nothing alternate would
continue to route long distance through traffic on State and
Federal highways through the developed Fort Wayne-New Haven
urban area.
