FRANKLIN/BARGERSVILLE, Ind. – Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) contractor E and B Paving, Inc. plans to begin a bridge rehabilitation project on State Road 144 over Moose Creek, between Franklin and Bargersville, on or after Monday, May 6.
S.R. 144 in Hopewell, near County Road 100W, will be reduced to one lane over Moose Creek using temporary traffic signals while work is in progress. Motorists will not be able to access C.R. 100W from S.R. 144 throughout the INDOT project.
Signage will be placed in the area before the start of construction. The rehabilitation activity is expected to be complete by late November, weather permitting.
The $5.2 million contract was awarded in March. It includes five district bridge projects throughout Johnson and Morgan Counties. Drivers should slow down, use caution, and avoid distractions when traveling in and near work zones. Schedules are subject to change.
