FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
August 16, 2016
Pipe Replacements Scheduled District Wide
The Indiana Department of
Transportation announces lane closures and restrictions throughout southwestern
Indiana for pipe replacement and repair projects in multiple locations.
Near the end of August, motorists
will begin seeing short-term closures and restrictions on state routes district
wide. INDOT maintenance crews will begin working on culvert pipes across state
routes. The work, in many cases will require some excavation work, making
closures necessary. Closures or restrictions are scheduled to be less than a
week long, depending upon weather conditions.
Residential traffic will have access
to the point of closure. INDOT encourages all other motorists to use the
official detours set forth using the nearest state routes. During the closures,
to avoid further inconvenience and enhance safety, motorists should leave extra time to get to
their destinations, slow down in the work zones and minimize distractions while driving.
