Short Stretch of U.S. 20 Bypass to Close for 20 Minute Intervals

  06/04/13 The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) announces one day of periodic 20-30 minute complete closures of the U.S. 20 Bypass (St. Joseph Valley Parkway) between the Ironwood exit and the Michigan Street exit beginning at 8 a.m. Wednesday, June 5^th. The closures are necessary to ensure driver safety as massive beams are set for the new Fellows Street Bridge spanning over the U.S. 20 Bypass. Additional lane restrictions and a ramp closure on the U.S. 20 Bypass will take place in the days leading up to Wednesday, June 5^th so crews can prepare equipment for the beam setting.

The exit to northbound Michigan Street from westbound U.S. 20 Bypass will be closed beginning Friday, May 31^st through Thursday, June 6^th. Lane restrictions will also be placed in both directions of the U.S. 20 Bypass on Tuesday and Wednesday, June 4^th and 5^th, between the Ironwood exit and the Michigan Street exit.

To avoid delays, drivers are encouraged to avoid the U.S. 20 Bypass on Wednesday, June 5^th.
