U.S. 30 to have lane closures north of Plymouth
MARSHALL COUNTY — Indiana Department of Transportation contractor Three Star Painting Inc. will begin a bridge project on U.S. 30 over State Road 17/Michigan St on or after Monday, May 2.
U.S. 30 will be reduced to one lane in each direction between Oak Rd and Plymouth Goshen Trail, and lane closures will alternate between the two phases of the project. Work will be ongoing through late July for a bridge deck overlay preventative maintenance project.
There will be ramp closures in place at the U.S. 30 and State Road 17 interchange with detours in place utilizing the U.S. 30 and U.S. 31 interchange. The ramp from State Road 17 to westbound U.S. 30 will be closed during phase one, and the ramp from U.S. 30 eastbound to State Road 17 will be closed during phase two.
