US 52 Resurfacing Project Closes County Roads This Weekend

The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) has announced two county road closures that began Friday, September 28 for concrete paving operations on U.S. 52. The closures can last up to four days and will most likely reopen Monday, October 1 during the afternoon. The two county road intersections that are closed include:

· C.R. 450 South

· Wyandotte Road

Rieth-Riley Construction was awarded this contract for $10.5 million. This project includes patching and resurfacing U.S. 52 from South 30th St. in Lafayette to East C.R. 900 South, approximately seven miles southeast of Lafayette.

The northern section of U.S. 52 in Lafayette will be resurfaced with asphalt.

The southern portion of this project spanning from just north of C.R. 500 E. to C.R. 900 S. will be concrete work. During this phase, traffic will be shifted into one 11′ lane in each direction.

This work is scheduled for completion at the end of October of this year.

INDOT reminds motorists to follow the posted work zone speed limit, use caution and consider worker safety when traveling through a construction zone.
