U.S. 31 lane restrictions in Jackson County begin next week

The Indiana Department of Transportation says that lane restrictions on U.S. 31 in Jackson County will begin next week.

INDOT says that crews from E&B Paving will close U.S. 31 and implement lane restrictions between Crothersville and Uniontown on or after Monday, July 29. The work, which is dependent on the weather, consists of bridge replacement and bridge deck overlay projects in Jackson County.

U.S. 31 will close over Grassy Creek, between County Road 500 South and County Road 400 South for approximately 120 days while crews complete an $870,000 bridge replacement project. The road is expected to reopen by November 29th.

Lane restrictions with a temporary traffic signal will be in place at Blau Ditch between County Road 500 South and County Road 600 South for approximately 100 days for an $890,000 bridge deck overlay project. The road is expected to reopen by November 11th.

The official state detour for both closures is State Road 250 to I-65.
