The Indiana Department of Transportation contactor Force Construction Company is scheduled to close State Road 258 over Spray Creek on or after Monday, August 5, to complete a small structure replacement project in Jackson County.

The closure will take place approximately three miles east of Freetown between Permission Lake Drive and North County Road 190 West and is expected to take up to 30 days, weather permitting.

Crews will begin to place signage in the area prior to the start of construction. During the closure, motorists should use the official detour route which follows S.R. 11 to U.S. 50 to S.R. 135 back to S.R. 258.

The project is part of a contract awarded to Force Construction in May 2023. INDOT reminds drivers to slow down, use extra caution and avoid distractions when traveling in and near work zones. All work is weather-dependent and schedules are subject to change.
