U.S. 33 Realignment through Goshen Continues Monday, April 9
GOSHEN – The Indiana Department of Transportation Commissioner announces that the U.S. 33 realignment project will continue its final year of construction on or after Monday, April 9, weather permitting.
In 2018, crews for INDOT contractor Rieth-Riley Construction Company will complete the remainder of the new alignment near Main Street and finish construction on the tie-in from the existing U.S. 33 to the newly aligned U.S. 33, just north of the intersection of U.S. 33 and Monroe Street.
Also this spring, crews plan to complete water main work along Lincoln Avenue, while also finalizing work on the retention pond in front of Goshen High School. The tie-in work near Goshen High School will take place in three phases, with multiple traffic shifts. Beginning on or after Monday, April 9, the turn lanes on U.S. 33 at the intersection of Monroe Street will be closed.
Later this spring, contractors plan to switch northbound U.S. 33 traffic onto the new alignment, with both directions using the new stretch of U.S. 33 by early summer. All work on the project is anticipated to be concluded by late summer, weather permitting.
Drivers are cautioned to watch for lane shifts, possible stopped traffic and lane restrictions in the construction zone.
The three-year, $19 million project will result in the re-routing of U.S. 33 away from Goshen's historic downtown district with three bridges -- over the Norfolk Southern railroad tracks, Lincoln Avenue and Cottage Avenue -- and the widening of U.S. 33/Pike Street from S.R. 15 to the Elkhart River.
