(Greensburg, IN) – In partnership with Michael Baker International, the Indiana Department of Transportation will hold a public hearing on Monday, September 25, for the proposed State Road 46 Pavement Rehabilitation Project.
The hearing will take place at the Greensburg City Hall (314 W. Washington Street, Greensburg, IN) and will provide an opportunity for the public to interact with the project team, receive the latest updates for the project, and provide official public comments. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. to allow attendees and the public time to view displays and talk with project personnel prior to a presentation that will begin at 6 p.m. Following the presentation, a public comment session will be held.
The project includes pavement replacement and asphalt resurfacing along State Road 46 from the east junction of State Road 3 to the west junction of U.S. 421 and from the east junction of U.S. 421 to Base Road.
Additional improvements include sidewalk replacement, ADA curb ramp upgrades, construction of a multi-use path, drainage work, and additional lighting. The project aims to reset the service life of the roadway and update transportation facilities to current standards. The contract is currently scheduled to let to contractors in 2026.
While the Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) plan for the project is still under development, a preliminary MOT plan will be presented at the public hearing, along with additional project information. Access to all properties will be maintained during construction. INDOT will coordinate with emergency services, local school corporation officials, and project stakeholders to ensure potential disruptions are minimized.
Construction is expected to begin in late summer/early fall of 2026.
The estimated construction cost is approximately $13 million.
