INDOT moves U.S. 40 / C.R. 600 E. Reduced Conflict Intersection into Phase 2 in Hancock County

INDOT announced construction on a reduced conflict intersection (RCI) at U.S. 40 and C.R. 600 E. in Hancock County is moving into Phase 2, Giant FM reported Oct. 1, 2026. During Phase 2, right turns will be allowed at each leg of the intersection while no left turns will be permitted in any direction because crews will be working in the median; Giant FM said the south side of C.R. 600 E. will reopen at the intersection on or after Monday, Oct. 5, 2026.

Giant FM also reported that U.S. 40 eastbound and westbound lanes remain reduced to one lane around the intersection during construction and that INDOT expects the work to be complete by Christmas 2026, at which time left turns from U.S. 40 onto C.R. 600 E. would be restored. INDOT’s project page separately identifies the proposed RCI, notes the project had gone through public involvement, and said it had anticipated construction starting in late 2026 or early 2027.
