- Starting on/after Monday, June 20: S.R. 58, 13.37 miles E of S.R. 446 at unnamed tributary to South Fork Salt Creek, between C.R. 550 W. and C.R. 650 W. in Jackson County

The $1 million contract was awarded to Five Star in February, with a completion date in late October. Traffic will be routed along the official detour, which follows S.R. 446, U.S. 50 and S.R. 135. Access will be maintained for local residents; thru traffic should use an alternate route.

INDOT to host public meeting June 30 for S.R. 11 Extension Project in southern Harrison County
|
In partnership with Lochmuller Group, the Indiana Department of Transportation will hold a second public information meeting for the State Road 11 Extension Project; a road construction project that will extend S.R. 11 from the intersection of S.R. 337, S.R. 11 and Melview Road, across Buck Creek, to the intersection of S.R. 135 and Watson Road in Harrison County. The meeting will provide an opportunity for the public to interact with the project team and receive updates on project progress. The project includes improvements to existing roads using Watson Road and Melview Road, construction of new roadway, and a new bridge. The project is nearly halfway through the two-year environmental studies process. This phase involves preliminary engineering and the assessment of environmental impacts in identifying the best alignment for the roadway. Final design and right-of-way acquisition will follow. Construction is estimated to begin in the fall of 2025. |
The information meeting will take place at the following location:
South Harrison Community Center – Gymnasium
5101 Main Street SE, Elizabeth, IN 47117
Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. to allow the public to view displays and talk with project personnel prior to a presentation that will begin at 6 p.m. Project team members will be available to answer questions. Comment forms will also be provided.
S.R. 56 closure expands next week in Salem
Indiana Department of Transportation contractor Milestone Contractors LP plans to extend the current closure of S.R. 56 in Salem next week to continue work on a $13.2 million roadway reconstruction project that began in March.
On or after Monday, June 20, the S.R. 56 closure will extend further west, to begin at the intersection of Cauble Street and end at S.R. 135.
The current closure begins at Harrison Street.
The new closure will allow crews to reconstruct the roadway and complete drainage work under the pavement.
Crews are also active at the S.R. 56 bridge over Brock Creek, which is being replaced as part of the reconstruction project, in addition to the intersection of S.R. 135.
The intersection closed late last month for storm drain installation, and pavement and curb replacement.
The official detour continues to follow I-65 at Scottsburg (Exit 29) to S.R. 250 at Uniontown (Exit 41). State Road 135 is currently expected to reopen at S.R. 56 in late June.
The contract was awarded to Milestone last December for a total of $13,292,500.
Drivers are reminded to slow down, use extra caution, and drive distraction-free in and near construction zones.
All work is weather-dependent and schedules are subject to change.
