Another major street in Richmond shut down for construction

INDOT press release and comments by John Estridge

Driving in Richmond over the last few years has seemed like an obstacle course with deep pits alongside traveled portions of the road going on to complete road shutdowns for long periods of time.

Add another street to the mix. This is the INDOT press release:

Indiana Department of Transportation contractor Milestone will close Main Street in downtown Richmond between 8th Street and 9th Street starting on Wednesday, May 17, for work on U.S. 27. 

Construction will last approximately two weeks for work on storm water pipe installation. Though this area will be closed to vehicles and parking, pedestrian access will still be open to local businesses. 

INDOT reminds drivers to consider worker safety and slow down, use extra caution and drive distraction-free when travelling in and around all work zones.
