GIBSON COUNTY, Ind. – The Indiana Department of Transportation announces a road closure on State Road 65 between Owensville and Cynthiana for a small structure replacement project.

Beginning on or around Monday, July 6, contractors will begin the installation of a four-sided box culvert on S.R. 65 about 2 miles north of the intersection of S.R. 68. This project will require a complete excavation of the old culvert and replacement of the new, requiring the use of all lanes of traffic.

During the operation, the road will be closed around the clock. Work is scheduled to last until the end of July depending upon weather conditions. Local traffic will have access up to the point of closure but all through traffic should use the official detour using S.R. 68, S.R. 165 and S.R. 65.

INDOT urges drivers to slow down and stay alert near crews.
