The Indiana Department of Transportation will start paving work next week on State Road 13 in Madison and Hancock counties.
On or after Tuesday, July 15, milling and paving operations will begin on SR 13 near the bridge over Fall Creek and from Old Fort Road to U.S. 36/SR 67 in Fortville. Work will occur during daytime lane closures with flaggers to control traffic. Milling and paving on mainline SR 13 is expected to continue for approximately one week, weather permitting. Paving of approaches to SR 13 will follow.
Once paving is complete, the transitions to and from the bridge over Fall Creek will improve. The speed limit in this area is 45 mph.
INDOT reminds drivers to slow down, avoid distractions, and use extra caution when traveling in and around work zones. All work is weather-dependent, and schedules are subject to change.
