SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- The City of South Bend announced the Ireland Road and Ironwood Drive Intersection Improvement Project will move into Phase Five with construction shifting to the southeast corner of the intersection starting on or after Thursday.

During this phase, city officials say northbound traffic on Ironwood Drive won't be able to turn right onto Ireland Road.

A detour will direct traffic north on Ironwood Drive, east on Lincolnway East, then south on Church Street to reconnect with Ireland Road.
