The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) announces due to the rain today the contractor plans to only close C.R. 575 East this weekend. The intersection will close tomorrow, Saturday, October 6 after 7 a.m. for concrete paving operations on U.S. 52, weather permitting. This county road is scheduled to reopen Monday, October 8 during the afternoon.
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.
