News Release

ELKART COUNTY — The Indiana Department of Transportation has announced traffic pattern changes at the intersection of US 33 and US 6.

INDOT traffic engineering made the decision to convert the intersection into an all-way, stop-controlled intersection. The goals of the change include reducing the chances of right-angle collisions and reducing the overall speeds of right-angle collisions should they occur.

The intersection changes are scheduled to take place Wednesday, June 19. The rain date for the changes is Thursday, June 20.

INDOT encourages drivers to use caution in the area while work is done to implement the changes. Drivers should also use caution after the changes are made as motorists work to adjust to the new traffic pattern.
