Road Construction Planned for U.S. 41
Motorists should expect minimal delays

EVANSVILLE, Ind. -- The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) recently awarded a $15.6 million road resurfacing project on U.S. 41 in Gibson and Vanderburgh counties. E & B Paving of Anderson, Indiana was the low-bidder.

This project will include bridge rehabilitations, turn lane reconstruction, improvements to the Warrenton Road and U.S. 41 intersection, deep patching, milling off approximately 1 ½ inches of existing roadway and resurfacing of the road between Coal Mine Road in Fort Branch and Boonville-New Harmony Road in Evansville.

Crews will begin with preliminary bridge reconstruction and turn lane work later this week, weather depending. During this time, the inside passing lane of both north and south bound U.S. 41 will need to be closed to allow crews to accomplish this work. It is anticipated this work will last approximately 30 days. Once crews are complete with work activity in these locations, they will shift the lane closures to the outside driving lane of both north and south bound U.S. 41.

As work progresses additional press releases will outline a more defined time table or work to be accomplished at U.S. 41 and Warrenton Road, patching, milling and paving. The contract completion date for this project is July of 2015.

INDOT reminds motorists to follow the posted work zone speed limit, use caution and consider worker safety when traveling through a work zone. For the latest news and information about INDOT, please visit www.in.gov/indot.
