Officials from the Indiana Department of Transportation will be at the Argos Junior/Senior High School on Wednesday night to gather public comments on the proposed J-turn intersection at U.S. 31 and State Road 110 in Marshall and Fulton Counties.
The proposed intersection improvement is a median U-turn, or J-turn. INDOT officials say the purpose of the project is to enhance safety at the intersection by separating traffic movements. They say J-turn intersections increase safety by reducing the number of possible conflicts and the points where two vehicle paths cross.
A similar public hearing was held last week for the proposed intersection adjustment at U.S. 31 and State Road 10 where no one spoke in favor of the change. Several comments were placed on the record including remarks from Argos Town Council members, Marshall County Commission members, and several residents from a wide array of backgrounds.
Tomorrow night’s public hearing is set to begin at 6 p.m. at the Argos Junior/Senior High School.
