Bridge Inspection
Steuben County’s bridges are inspected bi-annually in accordance with federal mandates. Steuben County, with oversight from INDOT, selects a consultant every four (4) years to perform these inspections. Bridge inspections are funded by the Cumulative Bridge Fund. The bridge inspection program is an 80/20 federal program which means that 80% of the cost to inspect our county's bridges is reimbursed from the Federal Highway Administration and is administered by INDOT to Steuben County.
CR 200 N Reconstruction Project - from City Limits to SR 827
Steuben County and the City of Angola are teaming on this project to improve this corridor by providing a curb and gutter section with a center left turn lane through the Glendarin Golf Club entrance then transition to a road section of 12-foot travel lanes and 4-foot paved shoulders. The at-grade railroad crossing along this corridor will also be widened and improved to include additional safety measures.

Bike Trail - Phase II - from CR 300 N to SR 727

CR 200 N Reconstruction Project - from CR 200 W to I-69 Bridge

The proposed improvements will begin approximately 1,217 feet east of the intersection of CR 200 W where the intersection improvements terminate. The proposed improvements will continue eastward consisting of two 12-foot lanes with 7-foot shoulders (6-foot paved and 1-foot gravel) and graded side ditches.
