ALLEN COUNTY, Ind. \u2013 The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) Fort Wayne District announces that on Friday, June 13, the eastbound lane on SR 1\/Dupont Road will be restricted to one 11-foot lane, with the westbound lanes and left turn lanes unaffected.\u00a0 The restriction is due to the removal and installation of the barrier wall on the south side of the bridge, and also for the construction of the sidewalk on the south side of the road.<\/p>\n
Also, on that day, traffic on I-69 near the Dupont Road Bridge will be restricted to one lane in each direction, with an enforceable speed limit of 55 mph. The limits are as follows:<\/p>\n
\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Northbound I-69, from 1.45 miles south of Dupont Road Bridge to 0.19 miles north of the Dupont Road Bridge, a distance of approximately 1.64 miles.<\/p>\n
\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Southbound I-69, from 0.20 miles south of Dupont Road Bridge to 0.46 mile north of Dupont Road Bridge, a distance of approximately 0.66 miles.<\/p>\n
The Indiana State Police (ISP) will be stepping up enforcement on SR 1\/Dupont Road within the construction zone. Please remember that speed limit fines are increased in work zones and could be higher if workers are injured.\u00a0 INDOT reminds drivers to use caution and consider worker safety when driving through a construction zone.<\/p>\n
To avoid delays, motorists may seek alternate routes, such as the new Union Chapel Interchange at Exit 317.<\/p>\n
Brooks 1st Construction was awarded the bid of $3.5 million, with completion scheduled for late October, 2014.<\/p>\n
