Exit Ramp to Close in Princeton
Closure to begin on June 18
PRINCETON, Ind. –The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) is announcing that the State Road 64 (S.R. 64) east bound exit ramp from U.S. 41 north bound in Princeton will be closing later this month.
Beginning Monday, June 18, crews will begin connecting the new exit ramp from U.S. 41 north bound to S.R. 64 east bound. Work will begin at 7:00 a.m. local time. The ramp will remain closed 24-hours a day and is scheduled to re-open to traffic July 1, weather permitting. During this closure traffic will utilize the other ramps at the interchange to loop around and reach east bound S.R. 64.
This work is a part of a $4.9 million U.S. 41 road resurfacing project that was awarded to E & B Paving of Anderson, Indiana. The project also includes the construction of turn lanes at the U.S. 41 and S.R. 168 intersection and at U.S. 41 and C.R. 350S. The traffic signals at these intersections will be improved to incorporate the new lanes of traffic. Crews will also mill and pave the nearly 10 mile stretch of U.S. 41 and during this portion of construction, a 12-wide lane restriction will be in place. The project also has a reduced speed limit and is patrolled by the Indiana State Police.
INDOT encourages motorists to slow down and pay special attention while traveling in work zones throughout Indiana. For the latest news and information about INDOT, please visit www.in.gov/indot and www.trafficwise.in.gov .
