May 8, 2025 — Starting Friday, May 9, construction at the Ireland Road and Ironwood Drive intersection will move into Phase 3. During this phase, work will focus on the center lanes of Ironwood Drive, including the intersection.
Due to construction, left turns will be prohibited from all directions at the intersection. Eastbound and westbound traffic will not be able to pass through the intersection. Drivers on Ireland Road will only be allowed to turn right onto Ironwood Drive. Drivers on Ironwood Drive will be able to continue straight or turn right.
Westbound traffic will detour north on Ironwood Drive, west on Lincoln Way East, then south on Miami Street before rejoining Ireland Road. Eastbound traffic will detour south on Ironwood Drive, east on the US 20 Bypass to the Bremen Highway Exit.
Access to all businesses in the impacted areas will be maintained during construction.
This intersection improvement project includes a full reconstruction of the pavement, curb realignment and upgraded traffic signals. Construction is divided into six phases. Each phase could take up to 21 days to complete, weather permitting. Traffic restrictions and closures will vary as work progresses through each phase. The project is expected to be complete by early July, weather permitting.
