Chip Seal Operations on State Road 129 in Ripley County

See map below.

(Ripley, Co.) - Indiana Department of Transportation maintenance crews plan to begin chip seal operations on State Road 129 in Ripley County on or after Tuesday, July 30.

Crews will be between State Road 62 and U.S. 421 south of Versailles. Lane closures and flagging will be active while work is in progress.

Chip seal work typically lasts three to four days per location depending upon weather.

During operations, existing pavement is coated with liquid asphalt, which seals cracks and provides waterproof protection. Once the seal coat is complete, loose aggregate is applied and swept from the road. After a curing period, crews will return to fog seal the new driving surface and apply pavement markings.
