INDOT Awards Paving Contract for US 36 in Sulphur Springs
The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) has awarded a $276,000 pavement contract to E & B Paving, Inc. to repair and resurface U.S. Highway 36 through Sulphur Springs in Henry County.
The project will deep-patch areas of pavement in need of repair before placing a new 1.5-inch surface on about a half of a mile of the highway west of State Road 3. The project will also install ADA-compliant curb ramps along U.S. 36 through the town.
E & B plans to begin work in May and complete the project in June. Flaggers will be used to direct traffic around work sites. A schedule and traffic restrictions will be announced before work begins.
Taking care of what we have
INDOT has been expanding its investments in maintenance and
preservation projects to keep pavement and bridges in good condition for as
long as possible, targeting bridges and roadway sections with the right
treatments at the right times.
Over the past three years, state bridges that
inspectors have rated as fair or better has increased from 93 percent to 95.3
percent, bringing it above the national average of 94 percent. Between 2012 and
2014, state-maintained pavement has improved from 89.3 percent in fair or
better condition to 90.3 percent.
