Project Information Sheet
Project Map
Typical Roadway Section
Project Description:
US 20 Section 2 in Elkhart County, near Middlebury, IN will soon be under construction to widen the roadway in order to improve safety and mobility along the corridor. The 2-mile corridor project will begin at County Road 35 and end at State Route 13.
The purpose of this project is to improve corridor mobility, vehicular congestion and pedestrian safety. This project will also provide roadway and intersection improvements, new traffi c signals to replace the existing signals, and curb and gutter throughout the corridor to handle stormwater runoff . This section of US 20 will provide 10-foot wide shoulders on both sides of the road that will accommodate horse and buggy traffi c along the corridor. These improvements will greatly enhance safety while traveling within the corridor.

Project Highlight:
The project features a new pedestrian crossing in front of the Northridge High School to connect pedestrians from adjacent neighborhoods across US 20. New sidewalks will also be constructed on the north side of US 20 from Northridge High School to the US 20/CR 16 intersection, and on the south side of US 20 from Westlake Drive to Spring Valley Drive. In addition, new pavement markings and a special traffi c control device, commonly referred to as a HAWK signal, will be installed at the pedestrian crossing at Northridge High School. HAWK, which is an acronym that stands for High intensity Activated crossWalK, is a combination of a beacon fl asher and a traffi c control signaling device. The purpose of the HAWK signal is to both warn and control traffi c at an un-signalized location to assist pedestrians in crossing a street or highway at a marked crosswalk.
