State Boulevard Between Wells Street and Clinton Street -
In preparation for the 2019 road and bridge improvements to State Boulevard, several utilities will relocate transmission lines over the next few months. That work begins on Tuesday, October 2, 2018, when NIPSCO will relocate a gas line in the center of State. The work will require the road to close to through traffic until November 28, 2018.
A marked detour for through traffic includes Spy Run Avenue/North Clinton Street/Lima Road to Fernhill Avenue to Wells Street. (see attached map)
Relocating underground utilities clears the way for INDOT to receive bids in February 2019 for construction of Phase II of the State Boulevard improvement project. Construction is expected to start in March of next year. Phase II is between Clinton and Cass Street and includes the replacement of a 90-year old bridge over Spy Run Creek, the realignment of the road, additional travel lanes in each direction, a turn lane where needed, a protected sidewalk on the north side of the road and a trail on the south side of the road, landscaping, and decorative lighting.
Following the NIPSCO relocation project, other utilities will work in the area causing some minor traffic delays, but the road will remain open. Additional work will be done by AEP, Frontier, Indiana Fiber Network and US Signal.
Phase I of State Boulevard project between Clinton Street and Spy Run Avenue is nearing completion. The road is open to traffic and the remaining work will wrap-up in the next three weeks. Phase I added a westbound travel lane to alleviate traffic that currently backs up on the Ian Rolland Bridge, a sidewalk buffered by a park strip on the north side of the road, a trail on the south side, decorative lighting, and an improved turn lane for eastbound traffic turning north onto Spy Run.

Improvements to enhance safety for motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians are underway on Dupont between Lima Road and Coldwater Road. Enhancements include expanding the road to four lanes with a turn lane, where needed, adding a sidewalk on the north side of the road and a trail on the south side of the road. A pedestrian/bicycle crossing, under the road, will connect the Pufferbelly Trail from Salomon Farm Park to the existing trail north of Dupont Road. Currently, there is no pedestrian infrastructure on Dupont.
The project, which addresses safety and congestion, will take place over two construction seasons with completion coming in 2019. Weekly updates can be found at www.cityoffortwayne.org/dupont

Washington Center Road Bridge Replacement ** Click Here for a Detour Map **
Fort Wayne, Ind. — Beginning Monday, June 4, 2018, Washington Center Road will be closed between Cross Creek Boulevard and Country Forest Drive to replace the bridge over Spy Run Creek. The closure is expected to last through October.
An official detour directs traffic to Cook Road, via Lima Road and Hueguenard Road.
Nearly two years ago the Allen County Highway Department determined that the bridge was failing and lowered the weight limit. Design of the new bridge is complete, and construction is ready to begin.
In less than ten years traffic on the road has increased by more than 20%, growing from 11,400 in 2009 to 13,900 today. This bridge is within Fort Wayne city limits, but the Allen County Highway Department is the lead agency for this federally funded project.
The new bridge will add an extra traffic lane in each direction, connect to a trail and sidewalk and improve lighting. While the bridge is replaced, the City is working on a separate project to add a new traffic signal at Cross Creek Boulevard, east of the bridge.
