Does INDOT review my driveway if I live on a state route?
Answered by AskBaily Editorial · Updated
Short answer
Yes — if your parcel fronts a state-maintained route (US 31, US 40, US 421, SR 37, SR 67, SR 135, I-65, I-69, I-70, I-74, I-465), INDOT reviews new curb cuts, driveway expansions, culvert installations, and utility connections. Sight-distance, grade, apron geometry, and drainage standards apply. INDOT review runs 4-10 weeks before DBNS will issue the building permit. Locally-maintained streets file through DBNS + DPW.
