State Road 7 is scheduled to close on or after Monday, 3.16 miles north of the Jefferson/Jennings County line (south of Turkey Run) for box culvert repair and maintenance.
The closure will be the first of four along State Road 7, south of Vernon, the Indiana Department of Transportation said.
The road will close for about 30 days at each of the following locations, moving south to north:
3.16 miles north of Jefferson/Jennings County line, south of Turkey Run (maintenance/repair)
3.51 miles north of Jefferson/Jennings County line at Turkey Run (replacement)
11.67 miles north of State Road 250, just south of Crosley Fish and Wildlife Area (replacement)
5.71 miles north of Jefferson/Jennings County line, about one mile south of the State Roads 3 and 7 split (maintenance/repair)
Crews will move to the next location following completion of work at each culvert. State Road 7 will be closed one location at a time.
The official state detour for each closure is State Road 3 to State Road 256, INDOT said.
The project is expected to be complete by October 31, INDOT said.
Also, State Road 250 is scheduled to close from State Roads 7 to 3 from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday for culvert replacement work.
Work will resume where crews left off earlier in July, about four miles west of State Road 7 in Jefferson County and will move toward State Road 3, near the Jefferson/Jennings County line. County roads will be accessible to local traffic only.
The official state detour for the closure is State Road 256.
Also, patching will begin on a 9.7-mile section of U.S. 50 in Jennings County on or after Monday, weather permitting, as part of a $3.1 million patching and paving project, INDOT said.
Work will take place from about two miles east of State Road 3 to nine miles west of U.S. 421.
Patching will be followed by milling and paving. The project is expected to be complete by October 31, 2019.
Motorists should expect delays due to lane closures along the route.
