NorthVernon, In. — Indiana Department of Transportation’s contractor is planning paving operations later this week at the roundabout construction site two miles west of North Vernon where U.S. Highway 50 intersects with Walnut Street and C.R. 400W. This should normalize traffic flow at the oval junction.
Operations are weather dependent.
Striping and other construction activities will be done under traffic with flaggers directing motorists around work crews
Milestone is the state’s contractor for this $1.9 million intersection improvement project.
The new U.S. 50 roundabout is a single-lane configuration measuring 166 feet in diameter. The roundabout’s 16-foot-wide lane encircles a center hub designed to accommodate semi-trailers on a 14-foot truck apron.
