Streets switch to two-way near Coveleski Stadium
Just in time for the South Bend Silver Hawks opening day on April 5, two thoroughfares
around Coveleski Regional Stadium will switch from one-way to two-way traffic
beginning Friday, March 30.
Yesterday, the South Bend's Board of Public Works approved converting sections of
Lafayette Boulevard and South Street to two-way streets to increase mobility around
Coveleski Stadium, Union Station, Transpo's South Street station and surrounding
neighborhoods. The change came at the request of neighbors and local businesses.
• Lafayette Boulevard will become two-way from South Street northward to Western
Avenue. (Lafayette remains a one-way northbound street north of Western.) In
addition, traffic headed westbound on Western Avenue will be able to turn
southbound onto Lafayette with a newly activated, phased, left-turn traffic signal.
Lafayette is immediately east of Coveleski Stadium.
• South Street will become two-way from Lafayette westward to Taylor Street as it
runs between Union Station and Coveleski Stadium.
City street crews have begun to make changes to traffic signs, signals and markings.
Motorists should continue to observe current signage until changes go into effect March
30. Please drive safely where street crews are present and give them adequate space to
perform their work.
