Two Warsaw intersections are scheduled to be improved to allow for semi truck traffic to maneuver better.
Indiana Department of Transportation recently announced Ind. 15 will be restricted to one lane between Prairie and Market streets in Warsaw beginning Wednesday.
The restriction will allow crews to begin an added turn lane, signal modification and resurfacing project. No detour route will be posted.
The improvements will include creating larger turning lanes at the intersections of Ind. 15 and Ind. 25, and at Winona Avenue and Detroit Street, according to Warsaw Street Superintendent Lacy Francis.
Both intersections will receive traffic signal modifications and new crosswalk markings at the intersections to improve traffic flow. New curbs will be installed. Utilities affected by the project will be relocated.
There will be a right-turn lane on the southeast corner of Buffalo and Ind. 15S created, Francis said.
A signal modification with a designated right-turn lane at the Buffalo Street and Ind. 15S intersection will be created.
A resurfacing project also will take place on the south side of Ind. 15S and along Detroit and Buffalo streets.
"The purpose of the intersection widening is to improve the flow of semis that drive along Ind. 15S to get to the Louis Dreyfus plant in Claypool," Francis said.
Traffic will be controlled with flaggers. Work is expected to be completed at the end of this month.
INDOT advises motorists to slow down and take caution while driving through work zones.
