Milestone Contractors is continuing work on the $15 million pavement reconstruction contract that began in late April along U.S. 50 in Seymour.

On or after Thursday, all traffic will be moved to the westbound side of U.S. 50 from Sandy Creek Drive to U.S. 31 as crews begin reconstruction work on the eastbound side of the roadway. 

Also, all four cloverleaf ramps at Interstate 65 will close during this phase of construction. Motorists should utilize the temporary ramps and signals to access Interstate 65.

Traffic remains shifted to the far right lanes and shoulder at the twin bridges over Sandy Creek as widening work continues. When complete, the bridges will accommodate a center turn lane and pedestrian path on the north side of U.S. 50.

Intersection improvements at U.S. 31 and bridge painting also are included in the $15 million contract. Two travel lanes in each direction are expected to be maintained for the duration of the project. The intermediate contract completion date is Oct. 31, 2021, with activity continuing through June 2022.

The Indiana Department of Transportation reminds motorists to slow down, use extra caution and drive distraction-free through all work zones. All work is weather dependent.
