Work on SR3 in Jennings County to begin in November
Indiana Department of Transportation officials met with contractor representatives Monday morning to review plans and discuss schedules for a $787,046 repair and resurfacing project on State Road 3 that will impact motorists in Jennings County.
Dave OMara Contractors Inc. hopes to begin making pavement repairs in November, weather permitting. The work calls for placing a significant number of full and partial-depth asphalt patches on State Road 3 from south of Vernon to the Sheriffs Office in North Vernon.
Early next spring, ADA-compliant curb ramps are slated to be built at State Road 3 intersections with Jackson Street, Perry Street, Pike Street, Montgomery Street, Brown Street and Gaines Street.
Starting in April, the North Vernon contractor will mill State Road 3, then resurface the highway. Scope of the mile-long pavement project extends from the State Road 3 / State Road 7 split south of Vernon to a terminus 0.85 miles south of U.S. Highway 50 at North Vernon.
The contract completion date is June 30, 2019.
