The Indiana Department of Transportation announces the concrete pavement repairs on northbound U.S. 31 in Kokomo are nearing completion.
The northbound lanes of U.S. 31 closed in the middle of October between the State Road 931 interchanges on the north and south sides of Kokomo for concrete pavement repairs. That work is scheduled to be completed by Thanksgiving, with all lanes reopening at that time, weather permitting.
During the final weeks of this closure, drivers are encouraged to continue using the official detour of S.R. 931.
INDOT encourages drivers to consider safety for all by slowing down, using extra caution and driving distraction-free when travelling in and around all work zones.
