The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) is proposing to improve the intersection of S.R. 28 and S.R. 213 near the Town of Hobbs in Tipton County by constructing a single-lane roundabout. The project is expected to improve safety by reducing the number and severity of crashes at the intersection.
Construction is expected to begin in spring 2028 and last one year. During construction, S.R. 28 and S.R. 213 will be closed for approximately 6 months at a time. Signed detours will be provided.
The proposed roundabout is designed to accommodate large trucks and farm equipment and will include updated signage, pavement markings, and drainage improvements.

Proven Benefits of Roundabouts
Roundabouts Improve Safety
A roundabout is an unsignalized, one-way circular intersection that improves traffic flow, minimizes congestion, and increases safety. Roundabouts are designed to promote lower speeds and reduce conflict points, leading to safer and more efficient intersections.
Benefits of a Roundabout
Roundabouts have been successfully used for decades with more than 10,000 roundabouts in use in the United States.
- 90% reduction in fatal crashes
- 75% reduction in injury crashes
- 40% reduction in pedestrian injuries
