State Road 46 work between Columbus and Nashville continues

Indiana Department of Transportation’s contractor for its $4.3 million resurfacing project on the 15-mile section of State Road 46 between Columbus and Nashville will have crews operational at three different locations by the end of next week.

INDOT says that workers are replacing a 1200-foot full-depth section of pavement at Tipton Lakes Boulevard west of Columbus, while a second crew is milling surface asphalt in State Road 46’s westbound lane. The milling operation began yesterday Thursday at County Road 350 West in Bartholomew County.

On Thursday, July 26, paving crews are scheduled to start placing the asphalt surface on State Road 46’s westbound lane, lagging several days behind milling operations. Just short of State Road 135 at Nashville, State Road 46 milling and paving operations will turn to the eastbound lane.

Motorists will be direct around moving worksites by flaggers.
