Amazon’s Data Center Hits Hobart Roads | Chicago News
Description
Amazon’s new data center in Hobart, Indiana is bringing big construction—and traffic. To handle the surge, the city approved restriping 61st Avenue and installing temporary signals, backed by independent engineering studies confirming Amazon’s projections. Key upgrades include a truck-right-turn lane, adjusted traffic lanes, and two temporary signals at construction entrances—especially at the already-congested Arizona Street intersection. City officials stress these are short-term fixes designed to ease construction chaos without altering long-term traffic patterns. Mayor Josh Huddlestun calls it a necessary step to manage growth while minimizing disruption for residents.
