The Keystone Parkway Corridor has earned national recognition for its innovation and potential viability in other U.S. communities.

The creative roadway solution called for converting Keystone into a four-lane parkway with full access, grade-separated, roundabout interchanges in order to enhance traffic flow while improving safety and access for pedestrians and bicyclists.

The six interchanges incorporate an innovative double-teardrop shape, said to be the tightest in the nation and the first of its kind in Indiana.
