State Road 7 work to begin Monday

JENNINGS COUNTY — Milestone Contractors will begin a $4.1 million asphalt resurface project on a 14-mile section of State Road 7 in Jennings and Bartholomew counties on Monday, weather permitting.

Work will take place from the north junction of State Road 3/U.S. 50 Bypass in Jennings County to U.S. 31 in Bartholomew County.

Crews will begin with nighttime patching operations, followed by milling and paving. All work is scheduled to take place between the hours of 7 p.m. and 6 a.m. to avoid major traffic disruptions during daytime hours. The majority of work will take place on week nights and early mornings, with the possibility of weekend work at times.

The project is expected to be complete by Nov. 15.
