Intersection improvement of Ind. 15 (Fisher Avenue) and CR 100S (Rozella Road), south of Warsaw, begins this week. The construction at the intersection will improve the left-turn lanes, adding new curb and gutter, improving the drainage, asphalt resurfacing and updating the traffic signal. Phase one of three is planned to begin Wednesday. During this construction phase, traffic will be restricted to travel lanes on Ind. 15 with intermittent stopped traffic during the placement of new cross-pipes for improved drainage. There will not be designated turn lanes during construction phases one and two or a paved shoulder much wider than two feet. In the coming weeks, Rozella Road will be closed from Logan Street to Ind. 15 for roadway widening and curb and gutter construction. During the closure, local traffic will be detoured using Logan Street. During phase one the southbound turn lane and roadway widening will be constructed along the west side of Ind. 15 and new curb and gutter added. After phase one is completed, milling of the existing surface on Ind. 15 and CR 100S will take place, followed by an asphalt wedge and level course. During phase two, there will be construction of new curb and gutter, the northbound turn lane and roadway widening will be constructed along the east side of Ind. 15. The Fruitridge Drive approach, across Ind. 15 from Rozella Road, also will be improved. The final phase will be to asphalt resurface the entire construction zone. All construction is expected to be completed by Aug. 12. When Rozella Road is closed, local traffic will use Logan Street to access CR 100S.
