State Road 933 (SR 933) is an
SR 933 was first designated as a state road in the 1990s. A section of the highway originally served as part of the Lincoln Highway. SR 933 replaced the original SR 1 and SR 2 designation of the highway which dated back to the formation of the Indiana State Road system. The highway replaced the U.S. Route 33 (US 33) designation of the highway which dated back to the 1930s.
Route description
SR 933 southern terminus is at the
West of SR 331, SR 933 enters downtown Mishawaka and has an intersection at Main Street, Old SR 331. The road leaves Mishawaka heading west towards South Bend, passing through commercial properties. The highway curves northwest parallel to the St. Joseph River and has an interchange with SR 23. This interchange is the west end of the concurrency between SR 23 and SR 933. The concurrency heads due west into downtown South Bend, crossing under the Norfolk Southern Railroad tracks. In downtown South Bend the concurrency ends when SR 933 turns north onto Main Street.[4][5][6]
SR 933 follows Main Street through downtown South Bend, passing under the Norfolk Southern again. On the north side of downtown SR 933 follows Marion Street east for one block to Michigan Street. The highway heads north as a four-lane undivided highway with a center turn lane.[4][5][6]
Michigan Street crosses over the St. Joseph River as it leaves downtown South Bend. The highway heads for

History
In 1917, Main Market route number 1 was given to the north–south section and Main Market route number 2 was the given to the east–west route that SR 933 takes today. Main Market 2 was also known as the Lincoln highway. Then the SR 2 section became US 33 in 1935, and US 33 was concurrent with US 31 north of Sample Street.
In 1991 the US 20 bypass opened around Elkhart and South Bend and in 1998 INDOT removed US 33 north of US 20 to the Michigan state line. The road was to come under local jurisdiction in Elkhart and St. Joseph counties. Local governments in Elkhart County, mainly the city of Elkhart, accepted jurisdiction of the road, while St. Joseph County did not accept local control and the road became SR 933 within that area. In 2004, INDOT tried to eliminate SR 933 and again St. Joseph County did not accept local control so the designation remained unchanged.[2][3]
In 2016 South Bend's "Smart Streets" project[14] converted certain streets from one-way traffic to two-way traffic, including streets that SR 933 followed. As a result SR 933 was removed from Michigan Street and St. Joseph Street, up until then the one-way northbound routing, between Sample Street and Marion Street, and was left solely on Main Street, up until then the one-way southbound routing, between those two streets.[15]
The portion north of Angela Boulevard on the north side of South Bend was expected to be removed from the state highway system in mid-2018.[16][needs update]
Major intersections
The entire route is in St. Joseph County.
