The Indiana Depart- ment of Transportation (IN- DOT) plans to begin a pave- ment preservation project on State Road 65 in Gibson County next week, weather permitting. Beginning on or after Wednesday, June 4, INDOT maintenance crews will be- gin a seal coating process on Highway 65 from the junc- tion of Highway 64 in Princ- eton to the junction of High- way 56 near Union. Crews will begin their day at about 7 a.m. CST and be complete by 5 p.m. CST each day and it is estimated this work will be complete by Friday, June 13, weather, material and equipment permitting. INDOT explains the seal coating process includes the distribution of a liquid asphalt emulsion on the roadway and covering the liquid asphalt with crushed stone to pro- vide a new wearing surface. Crews then broom off the ex- cess stone and follow up with the clear coat fog sealing pro- cess. INDOT claims by apply- ing this seal coat, it will ex- tend the life of a roadway by protecting it from moisture, ultra-violet degradation and any other exposures that could damage a roadway. Of the pavement preservation methods employed by the state, this process is perhaps the most cost effective. Stud- ies show that for every $1 in- vested, it saves $10 in future road repairs. Drivers should reduce their speed and exercise caution during the projects. Loose stone will be pres- ent on the roadway during the initial cure of the as- phalt and can damage wind- shields and paint on vehicles if speeding or following too closely. It is recommended when travelling on a sealed road to slow down and allow additional space between ve- hicles.

Highway 61 will be clos- ing between Petersburg and Monroe City beginning on Monday, June 23. The closure and construction project had originally been scheduled for June 9, but because of storms and equipment problems, the start is being delayed until June 23. Cher Elliott, of the Indiana Department of Transporta- tion, said the project was de- layed until June 23 because of the prediction of rain and storms every day this week. Contractor's crews will be closing Highway 61 from the junction of Highway 241 in Monroe City to the junction of Highway 57 in Petersburg. No through vehicle traffic will be allowed; however, lo- cal residents will have access to the point of closure. The of- ficial detour will follow High- way 241, U.S. Route 50 and Highway 57. "Highway 61 must be al- lowed to close for the installa- tion of an extension storm wa- ter drainage system through the town," said Elliott. The first area to be closed will be the "Five Points" in- tersection near the Blue Jean Center. It is anticipated that this first phase of installa- tion will last through July. Because this area is at the south edge of Monroe City, during this first phase of work there will be no access to side streets in Monroe City for a quick detour. A fter July 5, crews will move to the next phase of construction, beginning im- mediately north of the Five Points intersection to Ninth St. The third phase will be from just north of Ninth St. to Sixth St. The final phase of construction begins im- mediately north of Sixth St. to the Highway 241 inter- section. There is a possibili- ty Highway 61 could re-open to through traffic at the end of 2014; however, the road- way would then be re-closed in the spring of 2015 to com- plete storm drainage instal- lation. The $ 3.5 million roadway reconstruction project was awarded to Milestone Con- tractors, Inc. of Indianapolis and includes removing about two inches of existing road- way, re-establishing the sub- base material under the road, repaving the roadway, exten- sive new storm water drain- age system and gutters, in- stallation of Americans with Disabilities Association com- pliant sidewalk, curb, ramps and replacing sidewalk on the west side of the roadway from the junction of Highway 241 to the Blue Jean Center. It is anticipated the pav- ing portion of the contract will not begin until Spring of 2015, with the overall proj- ect completion date of Octo- ber 2015. A-3 Wednesday, june 4, 2014
