GIBSON COUNTY, Ind. – The Indiana Department of Transportation announces lane restrictions for State Road 168 near Fort Branch for a pavement project.
Beginning on or around Monday, Aug. 23, contractors will close one lane of S.R. 168 from County Road 700 South to C.R. 450, west of Fort Branch. Workers will be applying a high friction pavement treatment at this location. High friction pavement treatments are used to help motorists increase stopping distance and provide more traction in areas where applied.
Work is expected to last until mid-September depending upon weather conditions and will take place primarily in the evening and overnight hours.
INDOT urges drivers to slow down and stay alert near crews.
