INDOT shifts lanes on State Road 46 as road work continues

The Indiana Department of Transportation has shifted State Road 46 traffic to the south side of the east-west highway at Tipton Lakes Boulevard today to facilitate pavement removal and placement of new concrete on the north side.

Tipton Lakes Boulevard — located west of Interstate 65 at State Road 46 — will be closed for two to three weeks.

Once the 1200-foot section of concrete has been replaced on the westbound/north side, operations will shift to State Road 46’s eastbound lanes.

Milestone is the state’s contractor for INDOT’s $4.3 million project which focuses on milling and resurfacing 15 miles of State Road 46 from Columbus to Nashville. Milling operations are expected to being July 17. Flaggers will direct motorists around moving work zones.

State Road 46’s traffic count between I-65 and State Road 135 is 9,070 vehicles per day.
