INDOT to work on Brookville slide site

indotBROOKVILLE, Ind. — The Indiana Department of Transportation will begin work this week to secure the embankments along US 52 in Brookville where the rock-slide prompted a road closure.

Crews will begin operations Thursday (1/5) at that site.

Officials anticipate operations will continue through next week.

Crews will secure the embankments by embedding more than 160 soil nails into the slopes.

Steel plates will attach to the ends of the 20 foot long nails.

Finally reinforced shotcrete will be used to overcoat the steel plates.
