Major Roadwork Project to Begin March 10th, 2025
ELKHART, INDIANA / ACCESS Newswire / March 4, 2025 / ITR Concession Company LLC (ITRCC), the operator of the Indiana Toll Road (ITR), will begin construction work along the ITR from mile marker 123 - 157 on Monday, March 10th, 2025 as part of the PUSH 4.0 project. The project spans through Howe, IN to the Ohio state line and is expected to continue throughout 2025. Motorists are asked to drive with caution, as delays and slow traffic are expected throughout the project.
Construction will begin on the Eastpoint Toll Plaza on Monday, March 10th. Work at the Toll Plaza includes modernization of all in-lane equipment for the booths and improvements to the drainage systems. While intermittent closures of toll lanes will occur, the Eastpoint Toll Plaza will remain open at all times.
On Saturday, March 22nd, changes to traffic patterns will occur at mile markers 123 and 157. Single lane closures will take place throughout this 34-mile stretch. Motorists will need to merge from two lanes of traffic to one lane through the construction zones.
The PUSH 4.0 project includes extensive rehabilitation work that is designed to improve safety and driving conditions for all ITR motorists. The roadwork will focus on repaving and rehabilitating the mainline travel lanes and the Eastpoint Toll Plaza, as well as improving the Angola Exit (Exit 144) and rehabilitating 26 bridges. Additional improvements include the expansion of the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) inclusive of cameras, message boards and safety upgrades.
