Pipe Replacement Scheduled for SR 162 in Ferdinand

DUBOIS COUNTY, Ind. – The Indiana Department of Transportation announces a complete road closure for a pipe replacement project for State Road 162 near Ferdinand.

Beginning on or around Monday, May 26, crews will close S.R. 162 between County Road 700 South and C.R. 815 South to excavate and replace a drainage pipe. During this operation, the road will be completely closed to through traffic with detours marked at S.R. 264 and S.R. 64.

Local traffic will have access up to the point of closure but all traffic should use the official detour following I-64, U.S. 231 and S.R. 64. Work is expected to last until the end of May depending upon weather conditions. INDOT urges drivers to slow down and stay alert near crews.
