Work begins on road project in North Vernon

NORTH VERNON — An Indiana Department of Transportation contractor has started repair and resurfacing along about 2 miles of State Road 3/State Road 7 in North Vernon.

The repair work will be between Walnut and Buckeye streets downtown and the U.S. 50 bypass on the north side.

Contractor Dave O’Mara crews will be patching the north-south roadway over the next several weeks, INDOT officials said.

The project also calls for new ADA-compliant curb ramps at Main Street and installation of signal loops at Walnut, Poplar and Hurley Drive where a separate traffic signal modernization project is under way.

The contract calls for the work to be completed by mid-November.

The State Road 3/State Road 7 construction zone has a traffic count of 25,320 vehicles per day, INDOT said.
