(St. Joseph County, IN) - Major developments outside New Carlisle will also mean change for travelers.  What called a diverging diamond interchange will be constructed at Indiana 2 and Larrison Road beginning in March with completion in November of 2027. The St. Joseph County Commissioners approved the $50 million dollar project yesterday. Officials said the interchange is in response to more traffic expected from the Amazon data center and electric vehicle battery making plant.  Both facilities are now under construction.

Traffic along that stretch of Indiana 2 is already heavy so the interchange is viewed as a way to keep traffic flowing and improve safety.  Federal dollars will pay for a majority of the project, officials said.
