Work on Coldwater Road, I-69 interchange begins Monday

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WPTA) - A project that is slated to last through November on the interchange at I-69 and Coldwater Road is beginning on Monday.

The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) said in a news release that the project aims to address deteriorated pavement and bridge conditions, provide adequate bridge clearance and accommodate Ludwig Road alignment modifications being done by the City of Fort Wayne.

The work that begins on Monday is on the shoulders and median of Coldwater Road between Washington Center and Cook Roads, officials say. The intersection of Ludwig Road will be right turn only and northbound Coldwater Road will not have access to westbound Ludwig Road.

The $9.7 million project is scheduled to last until November, and all work is weather-dependent. INDOT reminds drivers to slow down, use extra caution and drive distraction-free when traveling near all work zones. See what all the project entails here.
