The roadway will be closed July 5&6 from 8am until 8pm
JACKSON COUNTY, Ind.— Indiana Department of Transportation maintenance crews plan to begin chip seal operations on S.R. 250 in Jackson County, starting on or after Wednesday, July 5. Crews will be active between U.S. 50 near Brownstown and U.S. 31 near Uniontown.
Road closures are planned on S.R. 250 between S.R. 39 and U.S. 31 while work is in progress. The road will close daily from approximately 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, July 5, and Thursday, July 6, weather permitting. Access for local residents will be maintained. Thru traffic should use an alternate route.
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. This extends the service life of the roadway and lowers maintenance costs. 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.
Chip seal is a cost-effective pavement preservation technique that is utilized across the state of Indiana, saving an estimated six to 14 dollars in taxpayer expenditures for every dollar invested in extending the life of a roadway.
INDOT reminds drivers to slow down, avoid distractions, and consider worker safety when traveling through active work zones. All work is weather-dependent and schedules are subject to change
