Work on State Road 64 in Gibson County is on schedule and should at least partially reopen by the end of this month. That word from Indiana Department Transportation’s Jason Tiller who offered an update on the project to WSJD.
According to Tiller, the road work between Princeton and Lyles Station Road is 50% complete and is running on schedule. He said there will be some work still going on after the end of July, but it will be done under traffic control and not necessarily a full closure. Tiller said the pavement rehabilitation project is a big project but the full closure phase is about over.
Workers with J. H Rudolph started on the $6.5 million project June 1st. When the work initially began, Tiller sent out a plea to the public to obey the road closed barricades after many drivers ignored them causing workers to slow down the project. Tiller said there are still a lot of people going through the closure, but it has slowed somewhat.
He reminded everyone there is access for local traffic and that through traffic needs to use the official detour using US 41, State Road 168, and State Road 65.
