South Bend, IN – Motorists in St. Joseph County should prepare for significant traffic disruptions on U.S. 20 starting on or after April 15, 2025, as lane closures will be in effect during daytime hours through late May. These closures will affect the stretch of U.S. 20 between U.S. 31 and Ironwood Drive in South Bend.
According to the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT), the closures are necessary for bridge deck sealing, guardrail repairs, and pavement markings. These tasks are part of ongoing maintenance efforts related to bridge deck overlays that started in 2024 on Miami Street and York Road.
Travelers should anticipate changing traffic patterns and possible delays, especially during peak travel times. INDOT advises that the roadwork may cause inconvenience for drivers, particularly around busy hours, so alternative routes may be beneficial.
For more updates on the project, motorists are encouraged to follow local traffic alerts or visit the official INDOT website.
