PRINCETON, IN (WFIE) -
The Indiana Department of Transportation says that State Road 64 will be closing in Princeton for the
installation of a drainage structure on the city's east side.
The closure
will begin on Monday, July 9, to through traffic. However, local traffic will
have access to the point of closure, 0.40 miles east of the S.R. 65 east
junction.
This closure is scheduled for five days.
During
the closure crews will also install stop lights on each end of the work
zone. When the roadway is re-opened to traffic, it will be one 12-foot
lane and the stop lights will control traffic through the area.
The signal will continue to be utilized as crews finish the
installation of the drainage structure. Once the structure is complete,
the signals will be removed and crews will pave the area. Traffic will be
controlled by a flag person during this part of construction.
During the closure of S.R 64, the official detour will route
traffic on U.S. 41, S.R. 168 and S.R. 57. The overall project completion date
for this project is December of this year.
The
project includes the installation of a new drainage structure under S.R. 64
between Washington and State Streets and relocation of sewer and water lines in
the affected area.
A second closure is currently scheduled for sometime in August and will be closed for nine days.
