Press release from the City:
Speed limits on Covington Road changing Friday
The City of Fort Wayne is changing the speed limits on two sections of Covington Road Friday, following approval from the Board of Public Safety.
The speed limit from Dicke Road to the city limits will go to 40 miles per hour, down from 45 mph. From Covington Commons subdivision to Dicke Road, the new speed limit will be 35 mph, up from 30 mph.
The change downward is in preparation for the new Covington Road Trail which is currently under construction. The change between Covington Commons and Dicke Road was because prevailing conditions are more conducive to the 35 mph speed and has been requested by drivers.
