Rumble strip installation to close lanes on bypass in North Vernon

NORTH VERNON — Indiana Department of Transportation contractor Surface Preparation Technologies Inc. plans to start work on or May 17 to install rumble strips along a section of U.S. 50 (the North Vernon bypass) in Jennings County.

Corrugations will be placed and sealed on the first day of work, followed by a five-day cure period for the sealant.

Crews are scheduled to return to the area on or after May 24 to apply center pavement markings, weather permitting. Traffic will be restricted by daytime lane closures with flagging between State Road 3 and Buckeye Street while work is in progress.

Motorists are reminded to slow down, use extra caution, and drive distraction-free in and near all work zones. All work is weather-dependent and schedules are subject to change.
