VIGO COUNTY, Ind. – The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) reports that work will resume on the resurfacing project on U.S. 41 on or after Monday, April 1, weather permitting.

The contractor plans to resume work in the southbound lanes on the curb ramps and concrete patching along U.S. 41 the first week of April.  There is additional patching work remaining in the northbound lanes also. The concrete work will take place during the daytime but will have overnight closures that are needed for forming the curb ramps and allowing the patching concrete to cure.

Asphalt patching followed by resurfacing is scheduled to begin in mid-April in the northbound lanes first.  That work will take place Monday through Thursday north of Wabash Ave. between 8 p.m. until 6 a.m. and south of Wabash Ave. from 9 p.m. until 6 a.m.

White Construction Co. was awarded this contract for $7.1 million.  This project includes patching and resurfacing U.S. 41 from just south of I-70 through Terre Haute to State Road 63 on the north end. The curb-ramps will be updated to be ADA-compliant. Thin deck overlays were placed on the U.S. 41 bridge over Tippecanoe St. and CSX Railroad and on the I-70 bridges over Erie Canal Road last year.

This project is scheduled for completion at the end of June of this year.

INDOT reminds motorists to follow the posted work zone speed limit, watch for lane closures and use caution and consider worker safety when traveling through a construction zone.
