SCOTT/WASHINGTON CO. — Indiana Department of Transportation contractor E&B Paving, Inc. is scheduled to close State Road 56 between Mount Road and Finley Firehouse Road on or after Monday, June 3, to complete culvert replacement projects in Scott and Washington Counties.
The closure will occur approximately three miles west of Scottsburg and is expected to take up to one week, weather permitting. Crews will begin to place signage in the area before construction. During the closure, motorists should use the official detour route, which follows southbound I-65 to Exit 7 to S.R. 60 and back to S.R. 56.
This project is part of a $2.1 million contract awarded to E&B in January 2023. INDOT reminds drivers to slow down, be cautious, and avoid distractions when traveling near work zones. All work is weather-dependent, and schedules are subject to change.
