Indiana Department of Transportation contractor Force Construction Co. is scheduled to close State Road 258 on or after March 4 for a superstructure replacement project in Jackson County.
Crews will begin to place signage in the area prior to the start of construction.
The project will take place at the intersection of State Road 258 and County Road 300W, just over 2 miles east of Freetown. The closure is expected to take up to 90 days, weather permitting.
During the closure, motorists should use the official detour route, which follows State Road 11 to U.S. 50 to State Road 135 back to State Road 258.
This project is part of a $4.5 million contract awarded to Force Construction in January 2023. The contract includes a total of three bridge rehabilitation projects and four culvert replacement projects.
INDOT reminds drivers to slow down, use extra caution and avoid distractions when traveling near work zones. All work is weather-dependent, and schedules are subject to change.
