❗️UPDATE❗️Bendix Drive has reopened to two-way traffic.
The street is now a three-lane corridor – two travel lanes with a center turn lane. Improvements included new concrete pavement, a multipurpose trail on the east side of the street, signal modernization, curbs & approaches.
Recently installed bicycle lanes on Monroe Street/Lincolnway East include a section protected by delineators (plastic traffic posts). #SouthBend @DTSouthBend
