The Indiana Department of Transportation announces a community event in Oaktown to assist residents with new traffic patterns that will be created upon completion of the median u-turns on U.S. 41.

On Wednesday, July 31 from, INDOT project management and consultant team members will be on hand at the Oaktown Community Building at 103 East 3rd Street in Oaktown. The event will be from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. local time. During this training, community members will be able to view a large floor map of the new configuration of the intersections at U.S. 41/Freelandville Road and U.S. 41/Old U.S. 41. Team members will be on hand to assist anyone with questions and to explain how the configuration will change the current traffic patterns.

Work began on the median u-turns at both locations in late June and is currently scheduled for a mid to late August completion depending upon weather conditions.
