Indiana Department of Transportation maintenance personnel from the Brownstown Unit have been rescheduled to chip and seal a section of State Road 135 from U.S. 50 to just north of Freetown.

The operation, which was slated to begin earlier this week but was delayed by rain, is now set for Monday. Inclement weather could again postpone the application.

The INDOT crew plans to proceed north from State Road 135’s intersection with U.S. 50 on Monday morning. In the afternoon, the southbound State Road 135 lane will be chip and sealed, beginning 0.2 miles north of Freetown.

Flaggers will be onsite to direct motorists around moving work sites.

INDOT officials advise motorists to drive very slowly and with extreme caution on highways that have been freshly chipped and sealed to avoid vehicular damage from asphalt spray or loose aggregate. Motorcyclists should consider delaying or rerouting leisure rides on State Road 135 in Jackson County early next week.
