The Indiana Department of Transportation announce plans for a road rehabilitation project on State Road 28 in Frankfort from approximately C.R. 200 W. to South Hoke Ave.

INDOT will hold a public hearing for the proposed project beginning at 6 p.m. and the doors will open at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, September 26 at the Frankfort High School in the cafeteria located at One South Maish Rd., enter Door #1.

The intent of the public hearing is to offer all interested persons an opportunity to comment on the environmental document and preliminary plans for the proposed road rehabilitation. The purpose of the project is to address the failing conditions of the current pavement and improve safety. The main features of the project proposes to resurface or reconstruct portions of S.R. 28 from C.R. 200 W. east to Jackson Street, the addition of a right turn lane from westbound S.R. 28 to northbound Jackson Street, and then continue with the reconstruction of S.R. 28 from Jackson Street eastward to Hoke Avenue.

The project will also, but not limited to, include the addition of dedicated left turn lanes on S.R. 28 at Clay Street, the reconstruction of the storm water system, reconstruction of sidewalks to be American with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant on the south side of S.R. 28 from West Street to Hoke Avenue, and a shared use path on the north side of S.R. 28 for the total length of the project.
