Closure planned on State Road 258 near Freetown

JACKSON CO. — Indiana Department of Transportation contractor 5 Star Company, Inc. plans to close State Road 258 just east of State Road 58 on or after Tuesday, October 8, to complete a small structure replacement project in Jackson County. 

The closure will occur approximately 2.5 miles east of Freetown and is expected to be complete by late November, 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 S.R. 135 to U.S. 50 and S.R. 258.

This project is part of a $1.1 million contract awarded to 5 Star in July 2023. INDOT reminds drivers to slow down, be cautious, and avoid distractions when traveling in and near work zones. All work is weather-dependent, and schedules are subject to change.
