The Indiana Department of Transportation announces a multi-phase, multi-year pavement improvement project on U.S. 231 starts on or after Monday, October 17, in Greencastle. There will be moving lane restrictions in both the northbound and southbound lanes on U.S. 231 between State Road 240 (Veterans Memorial Highway) and Frazier Street, six days a week, between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Flaggers will be out directing traffic. These restrictions will allow crews to safely perform patchwork, and are expected to last through mid-December, weather permitting.

Alternate routes include U.S. 231 to U.S. 40 to S.R. 75 to U.S. 36 and back, or U.S. 231 to S.R. 240 to S.R. 75 to U.S. 36 and back.

This project includes three phases, and will involve both lane restrictions and closures. The first phase involves the moving lane restrictions between S.R. 240 and Frazier St. The second phase, in 2023, is expected to start at the beginning of April and last through November. The third phase is expected to start in April of 2024. One-way traffic will be maintained throughout the project, with exception to the closures.

INDOT will hold public information meetings before work starts on U.S. 231 in each construction season. INDOT plans to hold a public information hearing regarding the 2022 work schedule in the coming weeks.

This project was awarded to Rieth Riley Construction for $12.3 million.
