Do you support nighttime road work that disrupts local traffic signals for upgrades?

The Indiana Department of Transportation is scheduled to perform overnight traffic signal work at several Fort Wayne intersections during the week of Nov. 2, from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. Crews are replacing traffic signal cabinets and controllers, with lane restrictions and flaggers in place during the work.

Why it matters

The work will temporarily affect traffic control at multiple busy corridors in the city during overnight hours. Drivers on affected routes may encounter lane restrictions and signals operating in flashing mode.

The plan covers 8 intersections receiving new traffic signal cabinets and 15 locations along S.R. 930 receiving new controllers, with each signal out of service for about three hours during cabinet replacement. The source does not specify the nightly schedule for the S.R. 930 controller work.

The players

Indiana Department of Transportation

The state agency responsible for maintaining and improving Indiana's highways, including the state routes and traffic signal systems involved in this work.

The details

Crews are replacing traffic signal cabinets and controllers between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. during the week of Nov. 2. Lane restrictions and flaggers will direct traffic, and signals will temporarily switch to flashing mode during controller replacements.

Week of Nov. 2, 2026, 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.: overnight cabinet and controller replacement work at intersections.

Construction Context

Replacing signal cabinets and controllers along state routes like S.R. 930 and S.R. 3 is part of the Indiana Department of Transportation's recurring maintenance of aging signal equipment. Overnight scheduling, as used here, is a common approach for limiting daytime traffic disruption on high-volume corridors.

Drivers on Coliseum Boulevard, Lima Road, and Lafayette and Clinton Streets should expect lane restrictions and possible flashing signals during overnight hours the week of Nov. 2. Plan alternate routes if you travel these corridors late at night.

The takeaway

Overnight timing keeps daytime traffic moving while crews upgrade signal equipment. Drivers passing through these Fort Wayne intersections late in the week of Nov. 2 should watch for flaggers and flashing lights.
