Driving in Vera Cruz: SR 301 and SR 116
Current 2026 SR 301 Safety Project
INDOT's current transportation programming identifies:
S.R. 301, 0.18 mile north of S.R. 116, near the Vera Cruz bridge
as a safety-related project.
The program moved approximately $918,000 of construction funding into FY 2026.
This is a current programmed 2026 project, but the programming record alone does not establish that a particular lane or bridge is closed today.
The safe publishable wording is:
INDOT has programmed 2026 safety work near the S.R. 301/S.R. 116 area. Drivers should check current INDOT conditions before travel.
SR 116
INDOT's Wells County mapping identifies S.R. 116 as a major route through the Vera Cruz area and its junction with S.R. 301.
This makes the intersection the town's most relevant road-specific traffic subject.
Current Master Plan
Wells County's new planning program contains a dedicated Town of Vera Cruz and Town of Poneto section.
That current planning work can support future updates if specific Vera Cruz sidewalk, road, or infrastructure projects move into construction.
