New Carlisle, Indiana – A public hearing on a proposed State Road 2 intersection redesign will give residents a chance to review plans and provide feedback.

According to the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT), the hearing will take place Monday, March 30, 2026, at New Prairie High School, located at 5333 N Cougar Road in New Carlisle. The project focuses on a proposed “diverging diamond” intersection at State Road 2 and Larrison Boulevard/Strawberry Road.

Officials said doors will open at 5:30 p.m. Central Time for an open house, allowing attendees to view displays and speak with project representatives. A formal presentation is scheduled for 6 p.m. CT, followed by an opportunity for attendees to provide verbal comments for the public record.

INDOT stated that project materials are available online ahead of the meeting, and the hearing will also be livestreamed. A recorded version will be made available for those unable to attend in person or virtually.

The proposed redesign aims to improve traffic flow and safety at the intersection, though specific construction timelines and impacts have not yet been finalized. Public input gathered during the hearing may influence final design decisions.

The meeting location will use the north parking lot of New Prairie High School, with entry through Door W6, according to INDOT.

The project may be of particular interest to commuters and students who regularly travel through the State Road 2 corridor.
