In partnership with American Structurepoint Inc., the Indiana Department of Transportation plans to hold a public information meeting Jan. 10 for a roadway improvement project along State Road 7 in Jennings and Bartholomew counties.

The meeting at Scipio Elementary School, 6320 State Road 7, will give the public the opportunity to learn about the project, view displays, ask questions and provide comments to the project team.

The $27.8 million project includes safety and mobility improvements between U.S. 50 in North Vernon and just north of U.S. 31 in Columbus. As part of the project, shoulders along much of the State Road 7 corridor will be widened to six feet on each side of the roadway. Auxiliary or passing lanes will be added at various locations. Intersection and drainage improvements also are included.

The project is currently scheduled to let to contractors in the spring of 2026.

Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. to allow the public time to view displays and interact with project personnel prior. The formal presentation will begin at 6 p.m. Information also is available at structurepointpublic.com/sr7.

Questions and comments may be submitted in-person at the hearing, on the project website or via mail at American Structurepoint Inc., Attn: Hannah Walker, 9025 River Road, Unit 200, Indianapolis, IN 46240. Walker also may be reached at [email protected].
