Traffic pattern to change on U.S. 30

MARSHALL COUNTY – A release from the Indiana Department of Transportation shares that its contractor, LaPorte Construction Company, will change the traffic pattern on U.S. 30 between Oak Road and Plymouth-Goshen Trail on or after Tuesday, September 8th.

U.S. 30 will continue to be reduced to one lane in each direction but all traffic will be shifted to the westbound side utilizing crossovers for two-way traffic. The ramp from U.S. 30 eastbound to State Road 17/Michigan St will be closed during this phase of work, and the detour will follow U.S. 30 eastbound to the U.S. 31 interchange to turn around and then access State Road 17.

Construction activities will continue through late November for bridge deck overlay preventive maintenance projects at Western Ave and Baker Ditch.

INDOT encourages drivers to allow extra time when traveling through this area and follow traffic directions carefully. Motorists should slow down, exercise caution and drive distraction-free through all work zones.
