The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) announces there will be several county road closures beginning Friday, September 21 after 9 a.m. for concrete paving operations on U.S. 52, weather permitting. The closures can last up to four days and will most likely reopen Monday, September 24 during the afternoon. The next county road intersections to be closed will be:
· C.R. 500 East

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.
