By John Estridge from an INDOT press release
In a press release, the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) made it official Tuesday, January 19, regarding the closure of Indiana 252 for slide repair.
According to the press release, INDOT contractor GeoStabilization International plans to close a section Ind. 252 in Franklin County on or after Monday, Jan. 25, to begin work on a slide repair project.
Under the closure, the contractor will stabilize and repair a 920-foot section of roadway located approximately 0.6 mile east of Brookville, just west of Smith Road. The closure is expected to be in place for 10 to 12 weeks, through mid-April, weather permitting.
The official detour for the closure will follow U.S. 52 to I-74 to Ohio 128 (OH) to Ohio 126 (OH), back to Ind. 252. Access will be maintained for local residents. Motorists are reminded to slow down and use extra caution in and near work zones. All work is weather dependent.
GeoStabilization International also did the slide repairs recently on U.S. 52 west of Brookville and on U.S. 52 east of Brookville.
