INDOT Out With Updated Start to S.R. 3 Project

(Decatur/Jennings Countes, IN) – INDOT is out with a revised closure date for a local road project, which was delayed earlier this month.

State Road 3 between Westport and U.S. 50 will close on or after next Monday, May 6 to complete an asphalt resurfacing project in Decatur and Jennings counties.

The work between South Main Street in Westport and U.S. 50 in Jennings County is expected to be complete by early November, weather permitting.

Access will initially be maintained for local traffic between U.S. 50 and County Road 500 N in Jennings County, until later in the project.

Crews plan to begin work between Main Street in Westport and County Road 500 N. in Jennings County.

All through traffic should use the official detour route throughout the entirety of the project. Access will be maintained for local residents and farmers.

This project is part of a $9.3 million contract awarded to Dave O’Mara Contractors in August 2023.

INDOT reminds drivers to slow down, use extra caution and avoid distractions when traveling in and near work zones.

All work is weather-dependent and schedules are subject to change.
