FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO): Construction will be underway next week on the I-69 interchange at Illinois Road.
Crews will be removing the loop ramps on the northeast and southwest side, and re-aligning a diagonal ramp on the southeast side that intersects with Illinois Road. Our Partners in News at ABC-21 report that Illinois Road will be resurfaced from Scott Road to Magnavox Way, and that a new traffic signal will be installed. Officials say this will improve safety and ease congestion.

That cannot possibly be a traffic signal on an Interstate. Please…please provide more information on this busy thoroughfare and what exactly this all means. Loops work fine…unless as INDOT has done in the past and go cheap and not put a ‘4 leaf clover’ loop in…Like at Coldwater and I-69…trying to go from southbound Coldwater to NB 69 you must blend into fast moving traffic whilst avoiding slowing down traffic attempting to merge into you. That is just sloppy, lazy cheap engineering. This article isn’t clear however and some type of re-do should be submitted that clearly states where the traffic light is going to be.
Look closer. The signal is on Illinois Road.
