WHITE COUNTY, Indiana — A temporary four-way stop is being added at a rural State Road 43 intersection Thursday, altering traffic flow for construction work.
According to the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) West Central district, crews are implementing the new traffic control at the intersection of State Road 43 and County Road 1250 South in White County.
The change is tied to upcoming construction in the area and is intended to improve safety as work progresses near the roadway. Officials said the four-way stop will be installed on or after Thursday, March 13, and drivers should expect the change immediately once signage and stop controls are placed.
Motorists traveling along State Road 43, a commonly used north-south corridor in the county, may experience brief slowdowns as drivers adjust to the new traffic pattern. Transportation officials are urging drivers to slow down and watch carefully for the new stop signs when approaching the intersection.
According to INDOT, temporary traffic control measures like four-way stops are often used during roadway work to manage crossing traffic and reduce the risk of crashes at construction zones.
Drivers should remain alert for construction signage, workers, and potential changes to lane positioning in the area.
The intersection sits along a route used by local commuters, farm traffic, and school transportation, meaning drivers who pass through regularly may notice the change right away.
INDOT is encouraging motorists to approach the intersection cautiously and follow posted traffic controls while the construction-related adjustment remains in place.
No timeline for removing the temporary four-way stop has been announced.
