The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) recently awarded a series of bridge and road improvement projects totaling $11.8 million.
INDOT awarded a $3.1 million contract to Milestone Contractors for pavement, bridge and drainage structure projects on U.S. 35 in Wayne County. Work will begin this spring and should be completed by December.
Project details include:
♦ Paving from I-70 to State Road 38: Milestone will repair and resurface pavement on U.S. 35 between the I-70 interchange and S.R. 38. One lane on U.S. 35 and all interchange ramps at I-70 are expected to remain open during paving.
♦ Bridge rehabilitation at Martindale Creek: Milestone will maintain and preserve the U.S. 35 bridge over Martindale Creek, which is west of Economy between Jacksonburg and Charles roads. The bridge project will require a closure of U.S. 35. During the road closure, highway traffic will be detoured via S.R. 38 and S.R. 1.
♦ Culvert replacement at Cain Ditch: Milestone will replace a drainage culvert under U.S. 35 immediately north of S.R. 38. Traffic will be detoured to S.R. 38 and S.R. 1 during this closure.
♦ Culvert replacement at Morgan Creek: Milestone will replace a drainage culvert under U.S. 35 immediately west of Carlos Road. Traffic will be detoured to S.R. 38 and S.R. 1 during this closure.
