Closure planned on State Road 56 in Scott County

SCOTT CO. — Indiana Department of Transportation contractor E&B Paving, Inc. plans to close State Road 56 between Finley Firehouse Road and Zion Road on or after Monday, November 4, to complete a culvert replacement project in Scott County. 

The closure will occur approximately 3.5 miles west of Scottsburg and is expected to take up to one week, weather permitting. Crews will begin placing signage in the area prior to the start of construction. During the closure, motorists should use the official detour route, which follows southbound I-65 to Exit 7 to S.R. 60 to S.R. 56.

This project is part of a $2.1 million contract awarded to E&B Paving in January 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.
