Three alternatives were presented to the public at the public hearing:
Alternative 3A would raise the road on the existing alignment. This alternative requires raising the railroad line as well.
Alternative 7D would realign U.S. 136 to the south to allow the highway to cross the railroad tracks above the flood elevation. (Recommended by the Department)
Alternative 8 would use a bridge to take U.S. 136 over the railroad tracks and Warsaw Road.
