Background The FHWA is responsible for enforcing the Federal regulations applicable to the National Network of highways that can safely and efficiently accommodate the large vehicles authorized by provisions of the Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1982, as amended, designated in accordance with 23 CFR part 658 and listed in Appendix A. In accordance with 23 CFR 658.11, the FHWA may approve deletions or restrictions of the Interstate System or other National Network routes based upon specified justification PO 00000 Frm 00186 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 criteria in 23 CFR 658.11(d)(2). These deletions are then published in the Federal Register for notice and comment. The INDOT has submitted a request to FHWA for approval of the temporary closure of a segment of I–65, from the I–70/I–65 south split interchange to the I–70/I–65 north split interchange, for a period of 93 days, from the period beginning Wednesday, August 21, 2013, through Thursday, November 21, 2013. The incoming request and supporting documents, including maps, may be viewed electronically at the docket established for this notice at https:// www.regulations.gov. Along its length, I–65 through Indianapolis, Indiana, passes under several bridges, many with limited vertical clearance. The bridges at Virginia Avenue, Fletcher Avenue, Calvary Street, and Morris Street have vertical clearances ranging from 13′ 11″, to 14′ 6’’. This project will increase vertical clearances to a minimum 14′ 9’’ at each of these locations. For the duration of the requested temporary closure, eastbound and westbound I–70 traffic will be detoured to I–465, around the south side of Indianapolis. Northbound and southbound I–65 traffic will be detoured to I–465. The INDOT states that the temporary closure of this segment of I– 65 to general traffic should have negligible impact to interstate commerce. Commercial motor vehicles of the dimensions and configurations described in 23 CFR 658.13 and 658.15 serving the impacted area may use the alternate routes listed above. Vehicles servicing the businesses bordering the impacted area will still be able to do so by also using the alternative routes noted above to circulate around the restricted area. In addition, vehicles not serving businesses in the restricted area but, currently using I–65 and the local street system to reach their ultimate destinations, will be able to use I–465 to access the alternative routes. A map depicting the alternative routes is available electronically at the docket established for this notice at https:// www.regulations.gov. The INDOT has reviewed these alternative routes and determined the routes to generally be capable of safely accommodating the diverted traffic during the period of temporary closure. The INDOT will increase the Hoosier Helper workforce (freeway service patrols) along I–465 to address incident response and minimize any incident impacts. The INDOT will issue a press release to inform the community of the closure and will post the closure in E:\FR\FM\01JYN1.SGM 01JYN1 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 126 / Monday, July 1, 2013 / Notices Road Restriction System. The INDOT traveler information Web site Traffic Wise will be utilized, as well as the 511 phone system. The INDOT will issue a formal press release upon notification that the request for closure has been approved. The INDOT has reached out to Federal, State, and local agencies to ensure a collaborative and coordinated effort to address the logistical challenges of reconstructing this section of I–65. The Illinois Department of Transportation and the Ohio Department of Transportation will be informed of this proposal. Additionally, efforts have been made to work with the various transit systems as well as the American Trucking Association. The INDOT has notified the Indiana Motor Trucking Association of this plan to temporarily close I–65, and has agreed to work with them to provide information targeted at the trucking industry. This request to close I–65 to general traffic on or around August 21, 2013, was prepared for the INDOT in accordance with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Planning Organization’s Transportation Plan. The INDOT’s proposal has been approved by the city of Indianapolis Department of Public Works and INDOT will coordinate the closure with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.
