SCOTT/CLARK CO. — Indiana Department of Transportation contractor E&B Paving Inc. plans to start work on or after Monday, April 4, on two guardrail replacement projects in Scott and Clark Counties. Guardrail and shoulder replacements are planned on U.S. 31 between Austin and Scottsburg. Additional guardrail work will take place on I-265 in Clark County.
U.S. 31 in Scott County
In early April daytime lane closures will begin on U.S. 31 between the bridges over Flat Creek and CSX Railroad. Flaggers will be stationed at each end of the work zone to control traffic. The contractor plans to begin on southbound U.S. 31, followed by northbound. Marshfield Road (C.R. 150 N.) will be closed to thru traffic between Main Street and U.S. 31 for the duration of the project. U.S. 31 will be unrestricted outside of working hours (Monday through Friday, approximately 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.).
During the project crews will replace the eight-foot, paved shoulder on each side of U.S. 31 and install new guardrail. Work is expected to be complete in late June, weather permitting.
