Officials from the Indiana Department of Transportation are hosting a public hearing tomorrow (Tuesday) to hear opinions on the proposed J-turn intersection for U.S. 31 at State Road 10 and Dewey Street (17th Road) in Marshall County.
INDOT touts the intersection will enhance safety for traffic. The J-turn intersection would not allow a vehicle to turn left at a crossroad. Instead, the driver has to travel quite a distance in order to turn left, or the opposite direction, to go back past the crossroad to turn left again to the desired location.
A public hearing was held in June on this same proposal which was met with opposition with Argos residents. The Culver Town Council members last week voted to support and sign a petition opposing the intersection saying that an interchange may be a better solution.
The public hearing is set for tomorrow (Tuesday) night at 6 p.m. ET at the Argos Junior/Senior High School.
