Section of State Road 3 in Decatur County to close Tuesday for culvert replacement

Decatur County, IN — Indiana Department of Transportation contractor Paul H. Rohe Company plans to close a section of State Road 3 in Decatur County on or after Tuesday, June 22, for a culvert replacement following a pipe failure earlier this week. The road will close between C.R. 650 N. and C.R. 1100 S./C.R. 800 N. and is scheduled to reopen by end of day on Friday, June 25, weather permitting. The official detour route will follow I-74 to S.R. 244 at Exit 119.

The culvert is located within the current asphalt resurfacing project on S.R. 3 between I-74 and the Decatur/Rush County line that got underway earlier this year. Daytime lane closures and flagging are expected to continue throughout the summer.

Motorists are reminded to slow down, use extra caution, and drive distraction-free in and near all work zones. All work is weather-dependent and schedules are subject to change.
