FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO): You may want to find another route if you drive on Bass Road in Fort Wayne on a regular basis.

Starting today, Monday, April 3,  what Allen County officials are calling a “significant” road construction project, will kick off on Bass Road. The project that is expected to have four phases, will continue into 2022.

It starts with an 8-month closure of Bass between Flaugh and Kroemer roads, and includes widening the bridge over Interstate 69 and expanding Bass into a four-lane road with a center turn lane, along with curbs and gutters for better drainage.

Four roundabouts will also be installed on the road project, which stretches from Hillegas Road to Scott Road.
