IN 331:
This will be a 4-lane divided expressway near South Bend from US 20 to IN 23.

The 2003 Land Use Plan of St. Joseph County describes the routing as follows:

"The new Capital Avenue (S.R. 331) expressway has been and will continue
to be constructed from the north to the south. The expressway’s current
alignment follows existing S.R. 331 from S.R. 23 south to Day Road. From
the S.R. 331/Day Road intersection, the alignment will proceed south to
Jefferson Boulevard adjacent to the west side of the American Electric Power
(AEP) transmission line across McKinley Highway. From Jefferson Boulevard,
the expressway will continue along the current alignment of S.R. 331 south
across the St. Joseph River to S.R. 933 (Lincolnway). From S.R. 933
(Lincolnway), the alignment proceeds south under the Norfolk Southern
railroad (NSRR) tracks, diagonally through the existing S.R. 331/12th
Street/Harrison Road intersection, and under the AEP transmission lines,
adjacent to existing Elm Road to the alignment’s south terminus at the
existing U.S. 20/Elm Road interchange.


At the Capital Avenue (S.R. 331) intersections with Cleveland, Douglas, Day,
McKinley, Jefferson, S.R. 933 (Lincolnway), 12th Street/ Harrison, and
Dragoon, there will be limited access right of way for the expressway. The
table below details the limited access at each intersection. The limited
access will restrict turning movements at the approaches of the noted cross
roads that intersect S.R. 331. Turning movements at these intersections will
be restricted to right-in/right-out access. This turning restriction is required
to protect the operational integrity of the intersections. Concrete center
curbs will prevent left turns."
