Construction along the Indiana Toll Road from the Howe area to the Ohio state line is expected to begin in March and continue through mid-November.
Elkhart-based toll road operator ITR Concession Co. said the project will include the repaving of about 34 miles of roadway as well as improvements to the Eastpoint toll plaza barrier in Angola, one interchange and 26 bridges.
Additional improvements include the expansion of cameras and message boards, safety upgrades, and plaza beautifications. The stretch of roadway is from mile marker 123 to mile marker 157.
Motorists can expect intermittent lane closures on travel lanes and at toll plazas. Motorists are advised to plan ahead and stay up to date on their E-ZPass accounts.
Regular updates will be provided on the indianatollroad.org website and social media channels.
Once the project is completed, ITR Concession Co. will have reconstructed 94% of the pavement and invested more than $1 billion in infrastructure upgrades on the Indiana Toll Road since 2016, the company said.
The toll road, part of Interstate 80/90, spans 157 miles of northern Indiana and serves as a key transportation link in the Midwest.
