An 8.3-mile stretch of U.S. 50, between U.S. 31 at Seymour and the U.S. 50 North Vernon bypass, will be repaired and repaved beginning in early May.
Dave O’Mara is the Indiana Department of Transportation’s contractor for the $1.9 million project, and the planned completion date is Sept. 30.
The project calls for the contractor to mill and replace 1½ inches of existing asphalt pavement after completing full- and partial-depth patching. Road and drive approaches will be paved. A sinusoidal wave will function along the centerline to warn drivers of cross-lane hazards, INDOT said.
The project will end just west of this summer’s roundabout construction at the U.S. 50/Walnut Street-County Road 400 West interchange, two miles west of North Vernon.
