Indiana Department of Transportation press release with some comments

For people living east of town off Indiana 252, it has been a year of closure. And that will be the case once again for at least a month.

Some of the closures were very welcome, like the “fixing” of the Ind. 252 slide between Brookville and the Smith Road intersection. And apparently, this will also do some of this in an adjacent area to the first slide fix.

But repeated closures, well they can be a little wearing. One would think there could be some multi-tasking where a couple of things could be done at the same time to limit the number of closures, but, oh well.

Here is the latest closure.

Under the closure, the contractor will replace an 18-inch culvert and stabilize a small section of roadway located just east of Brookville using a soil nail wall. The closure is expected to be in place for approximately four weeks, weather permitting. A similar project took place near this location last winter. The new section of soil nail wall will connect to the segment completed last year.

The official detour will follow U.S. 52 to Interstate-74 to Ohio 128 to Ohio 126, back to Indiana 252. Motorists are reminded to slow down and use extra caution in and near work zones. All work is weather-dependent and schedules are subject to change.
