State Road 7 closing in Jennings County is updated

JENNINGS COUNTY — The current State Road 7 closure at Turkey Run in Jennings County will move one mile north on or after Wednesday, weather permitting, as crews begin work on the third of four box culverts between the Jefferson/Jennings County line and Vernon.

The road will close Wednesday 11.67 miles north of State Road 250, just south of Crosley Fish and Wildlife Area, for a box culvert replacement. The road will reopen at the second culvert location, where crews have been working since Aug. 26. The new closure is planned for approximately 30 days.

The official state detour for the closure is State Road 3 to State Road 256.
