The Indiana Department of Transportation announces that contract crews will resume work on an intersection improvement project at State Road 38 and Moontown Road/Hinkle Road. The project includes the installation of new traffic signals and turn lanes.
Beginning on or after Tuesday, Sept. 30, Moontown Road will close at SR 38 for up to 45 days through the middle of November. The official detour will follow Grassy Branch Road, 191st Street, and Little Chicago Road.
During construction, both shoulders of SR 38 will be closed between East Street and Little Chicago Road, and the speed limit will be reduced to 45 mph. Hinkle Road is scheduled to close once Moontown Road reopens. Overall construction is anticipated to be complete by the end of January.
INDOT reminds drivers to slow down, avoid distractions, and use extra caution while traveling in and around work zones. All work is weather-dependent, and schedules are subject to change.
