Public Hearing Set for Intersection Improvement

A public hearing is planned to gather comments on the proposed intersection improvement on U.S. 31 and State Road 10 and Dewey Street in Marshall County.

The project includes a measure to increase safety at the intersection and reduce delay by separating traffic movements. The plan is to construct a J-turn, or a median U-turn. J-turns improve the ability of drivers to cross a multi-lane divided highway from a crossroad. According to INDOT, the improvement is expected to reduce the risk of severe crashes.

INDOT officials have scheduled the public hearing for Tuesday, Sept. 19 at 6 p.m. at the Argos Community Jr./Sr. High School. Documents related to this project can be seen at the Argos Public Library.
