Dearborn Co. Road Repairs Wed., Thurs.

LAWRENCEBURG, Ind. – Repair work is scheduled to begin tomorrow on S.R. 48/ Dielby Road at Hospital Hill.

The highway will be closed between U.S. Highway 50 and Tower Road during maintenance operations.

Indiana Department of Transportation officials say traffic is being routed around the S.R. 48 closure via S.R. 148 and U.S. 50 during daytime hours.

Beginning at 8 a.m. Wednesday, road crews will mill away damaged pavement areas in a 2000-foot section of S.R. 48 on Hospital Hill. The work is expected to be complete by 8 p.m. The road is scheduled to reopen at that point.

On Thursday morning, INDOT maintenance crews will repave the section of road which results in an expected 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. closure.

Inclement weather could postpone the work, officials say.

INDOT officials advise motorists to drive with caution while construction trucks and equipment enter the work zone.
