There are no plans to upgrade the entire corridor to Interstate standards at this time, but maps from the 2005 Final EIS show that Indiana will build its portion as a freeway with no at-grade intersections. I-blank widesvg|90px|right]] Standards for Interstate Highways in the United States are defined by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials The most complex and expensive portion of the Indiana segment is reconstructing the interchange with Interstate 469 east of Fort Wayne. Interstate 469 (abbreviated I-469) also known as the Ronald Reagan Expressway, is an Interstate highway in the midwestern United States. The existing parclo interchange will be reconfigured with flyover ramps to allow high-speed movement of traffic through the interchange.

An overpass (called a flyover in the UK and most Commonwealth countries is a Bridge, Road, Railway or
In November 2007, Indiana announced they would change their segment as an expressway with at-grade intersections at Bruick Road, Webster Road, and SR 101, instead of a freeway section with interchanges and overpasses. The only overpasses would be two narrow (12' wide) overpasses for non-motorized traffic (Amish buggies) to cross US 24. The Amish (ˈɑːmɪʃ are members of an Anabaptist Christian denomination best known for Simple living, Plain dress and resisting modern conveniences Also, the interchange of I-469 and US 24 would remain as-is with traffic signals at the US 24 ramp terminals. The cost savings without interchanges would be approximately $75-$80 million. Right of way would be purchased for future interchanges. This change has been unpopular due to safety concerns with the heavy truck traffic on the corridor. INDOT claims that the current traffic on US 24 does not justify interchanges, even though the 2005 Final EIS states that it does.
Responding to widespread public outcry over the scaled-back design, Governor Mitch Daniels announced on December 12, 2007, that US-24 will be built as a freeway from Bruick Road to the Ohio state line, with interchanges at SR-101 and Webster Road. Mitchell Elias "Mitch" Daniels Jr (born April 7, 1949 in Monongahela PA) is the current Governor of the U [4] Construction is expected to begin on the first section between the Ohio state line and SR-101 in the spring of 2008. The entire 13. 5 mile segment is slated for completion in 2012. The intersection with Bruick Road will initially be an at-grade crossing, and the upgraded US-24 will tie into the existing intersection with I-469. Excess land will be acquired to eventually convert the Bruick Road intersection to an intechange and construct flyover ramps to I-469 when future funding becomes available.
Governor Daniels and INDOT held the groundbreaking ceremony for the Indiana section on April 30, 2008.
Originally Ohio planned to upgrade US-24 between the Indiana state line and Toledo as a 4-lane highway with some at-grade crossings. In 2005, it was announced that the 22-mile segment between Napoleon and Interstate 475 near Waterville will be built as a freeway. Napoleon is a City in Henry County, Ohio, United States, along the Maumee River. Waterville is a village in Lucas County, Ohio, United States, along the Maumee River. The remaining Ohio segments fron Napoleon to Indiana will follow the original plan, containing both at-grade and grade-separated intersections. Every intersection with a state or US highway on US 24 from the Indiana State Line to I-475 at Toledo will be an interchange. In accordance with the 2005 Final EIS, US-24 from the Ohio/Indiana state line to I-469 in New Haven will be constructed as an interstate-quality freeway. New Haven is a city in Jefferson and Adams townships Allen County, Indiana, United States Interchanges are planned for Bruick Road, Webster Road, and SR-101. State Road 101 in the US state of Indiana is a north-south State highway in the eastern portion of Indiana that exists in four sections [5]
