Access closures at Hwy 212 and Hwy 5/25/County Road 131 begin August 12
Crews will begin work on the Hwy 212 J-turn at Hwy 5/25/Co. Rd. 131 in Young America Township at 7 a.m. Wed, Aug. 12. Hwy 212 access to and from Hwy 5/25/Co. Rd. 131 will be limited through early October.
From Wed, Aug. 12 to mid-September, crews will work on the south side of the intersection, resulting in the following traffic impacts:
Westbound and eastbound Hwy 212 to southbound Hwy 5/25 detour: Hwy 212 to southbound Co. Rd. 1 to eastbound Co. Rd. 10/50 to Hwy 5/25
Northbound Hwy 5/25 to westbound Hwy 212 detour: Northbound Hwy 5/25 to eastbound Hwy 212 to Wells Ave. J-turn to westbound Hwy 212
Northbound Hwy 5/25 (across Hwy 212) to Co. Rd. 131 detour: Eastbound Hwy 212 to Wells Ave. J-turn to westbound Hwy 212 to Co. Rd. 131
Southbound Co. Rd. 131 (across Hwy 212) to Hwy 5/25 detour: Westbound Hwy 212 to southbound Co. Rd. 1 to eastbound Co. Rd. 10/50 to Hwy 5/25
From mid-September through early October, crews will work on the median of Hwy 212 and Hwy 5/25/Co. Rd. 131, which will also result in traffic impacts and detours.
Crews will complete the J-turns at the Wells Ave. and Railroad St. intersections by 7 a.m. Wed, Aug. 12. Work continues at the Co. Rd. 31 J-turn through mid-September.
Traffic will remain reduced to one lane in each direction throughout the project area, between Hwy 5/25/Co. Rd. 131 in Young America Township and Hwy 5/25/Reform St. in Norwood Young America.

We appreciate your patience while we make these improvements. Plan ahead by checking 511, and give yourself additional time to reach your destination.
Please note that all timeframes are approximate, subject to change, and weather and schedule dependent.
Please drive with care in work zone:
Slow down when approaching every work zone, then navigate with care and caution.
Stay alert; work zones constantly change.
Watch for workers and slow-moving equipment.
Obey posted speed limits. The fine for a violation in a work zone is $300.
Minimize distractions behind the wheel.
Be patient; expect delays, especially during peak travel times.
More about this project
Crews are working to improve about 2.5 miles of Hwy 212 by building J-turns at Hwy 5/25/Co. Rd. 131, Wells Ave., Co. Rd. 31 and West Railroad St. Workers will also install cable median barriers.
The J-turns will help reduce “T-bone” crashes and the cable median barriers will help reduce cross-median crashes.
The project is planned to be completed in fall 2026.
