Modern Rockville, which adds capacity to roads, bridges and storm drains along nearly three miles of U.S. 36 between I-465 and Raceway Road in Marion County, is in its next phase on the path to improvement.

Modern Rockville will tackle: traffic congestion due to only four current travel lanes; crash conflict points with left-turning vehicles; poor drainage in shoulders; and lack of sidewalks for pedestrians.
