Elkhart County, Indiana, is set to receive over $127 million in transportation investments over the next five years. The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) announced the planned investments, which include major expansion projects along U.S. 33 and U.S. 20.
Projects and Timeline
INDOT plans to invest about $117 million in roadway resurfacing and repairs, along with an additional $10.5 million for bridge and culvert improvements. Two of the largest projects include a $49 million reconstruction and expansion project along U.S. 33 through Goshen and a $47 million expansion project on U.S. 20 near Middlebury. Construction on both projects is expected to begin in 2028.
According to Hunter Petroviak, public relations director for INDOT’s Northeast District, the projects are designed to address increasing traffic demands, improve safety, and add additional travel lanes where needed. INDOT studies traffic patterns and crash data when determining where improvements are needed, and officials say congestion is expected to continue increasing without infrastructure upgrades.
