Kokomo Bypass

From the west side of Michigan heading straight south through Indiana, I like using US 31. One of the last congested areas north of Indianapolis was where the highway ran straight through Kokomo. Now the highway bypasses the city to the east. The bypass eliminates five minutes of traffic and lights, and probably saves ten to fifteen minutes during rush hour. This should also help eliminate address confusions, since some of the Kokomo destinations used Reed Road and US 31 interchangeably for their address, and sometimes I got the feeling the Reed Road street numbering system didn’t match the US 31 numbers.
