Construction in Seymour
Current construction in and around Seymour includes US 50, which includes four phases. Work on both the eastbound and westbound lanes will rotate with a projected completion date of late 2021. The ramps for Interstate 65 will return to the “pre-construction” location when things are complete. The end result of US 50 construction will be four lanes of traffic plus a median with left turn lanes. Indiana Department of Transportation is in charge of the project.
Burkart Bypass South is in full swing. Phase 1 of the Burkart Bypass will connect the current Burkart Boulevard to South O’Brien Street, taking drivers from US 50, south of Silgan Plastics. A roundabout has been added at South O’Brien Street and County Road 340N. Phase 2 of Burkart Bypass will travel from South O’Brien Street through Freeman Field to a roundabout at Airport Road. Both Phase 1 and Phase 2 should be completed in late 2021. An additional roundabout will be installed on Indiana 11 near Goecker Building Supply/True Value.
