Local access will be available, including the south entrance to Bednarcik Junior High School.

The construction project consists of the removal and replacement of the existing roadway. The newly constructed roadway will be realigned to improve connection at U.S. Route 30, where the new intersection will have traffic signals and relocated approximately 2,000 feet north of the existing intersection.

Route 30 will remain open during construction. However, motorists may experience traffic delays due to the construction and daytime lane closures. Detour routes will be posted.

The project is expected to be completed in the spring of 2020, conditions permitting.
