About ProPEL S.R. 2
The 13-mile ProPEL S.R. 2 study area extends from U.S. 20 in La Porte County to U.S. 20/31 in St. Joseph County in northern Indiana. The Study Team is working to understand corridor needs, identify opportunities for safety and mobility improvements, and determine a set of recommendations for transportation improvements for the corridor.
A PEL study is a collaborative effort that occurs before specific projects are identified and allows the public to engage early in the transportation planning process. The study also allows INDOT to better understand community needs and to develop solutions that meet those needs.
