US-52 @ 65 Interchange Project
The Project known as US-52 @ 65, or the Lebanon Northern Interchange project will construct and realign US-52 to the north at a new interchange 3/10ths of a mile north of the CR 300N overpass on I-65 in Boone County. The interchange planned is a Crossover Diamond (also known as a Diverging Diamond) interchange.
Project Map and Description
| Preferred Alternative |
| New Interchange Selected Alternative |
As seen in the interchange diagram, US-52 will curve eastward about 4/10ths of a mile west of CR 300N near Prairie Creek and continuing to a new interchange at I-65. The crossover diamond interchange design is the best alternative since it will help facilitate the movement of traffic onto and off of I-65 in both directions, as most traffic will not be through traffic. It also provides access to the new Eli Lilly development located to the northeast, as well as providing another alternative for a potential connection to SR-39 so that it can be relinquished through the city of Lebanon.
The ultimate routing east of a potential SR-39 connector has not yet been determined or released. New connecting roads and roundabouts have already been constructed or are under construction in conjunction with this project.
To the south, the existing US-52 ramps will be removed completely and the Old US-52 will be downgraded to a surface street or potentially to connect to the new LEAP development being planned and constructed West of the interstate. More on this at a later time.
