U.S. 50 patching planned in Jennings County

Jennings County, In.—  Indiana Department of Transportation’s contractor plans to make full- and partial-depth asphalt patches on U.S. Highway 50 between U.S. 31 and the roundabout construction site at the west end of the North Vernon bypass—beginning next Monday, June 11.

Motorists will encounter flaggers at worksites during daytime hours.

Dave O’Mara, INDOT’s contractor for this $1.9 million rehabilitation project, will mill and resurface along an 8.3-mile section of U.S. 50 once these pavement repairs have been completed.  The project calls for road/drive approaches to be paved and centerline sinusoidal waves cut to warn drivers of cross-lane drifting.

The contract completion date is September 30.

U.S. 50 has a traffic count of 12,980 vehicles per day.
