Lafayette’s Veterans Memorial Parkway Widening Project

The city of Lafayette is moving forward with a $3.2 million project to widen Veterans Memorial Parkway. This project focuses on expanding the final stretch of the parkway that hasn’t been widened to four lanes yet. The section in question runs between US-52 and State Road 38, near the Subaru plant and Wabash National Corporation.

Project Details

One of the key aspects of this project involves the bridge over the railroad tracks. The current infrastructure only supports three lanes, but the project will initially widen it to accommodate three lanes, with plans to expand it to four lanes in the future. This will help improve traffic flow and reduce congestion in the area.

Future Improvements

This widening project is a major step towards improving the city’s infrastructure. While there may still be minor sections, like those near State Road 26, that need attention, the completion of this stretch will significantly enhance the parkway’s overall functionality.

Lafayette is dedicated to improving its transportation network, and the Veterans Memorial Parkway project is a key part of that effort. The city aims to provide better connectivity and support growth in the area.
