Traffic restrictions continue in Greencastle.  To the chagrin of many drivers.

U.S. 231 is to be restricted as part of a major pavement improvement project. The northbound lane will be restricted between S.R. 240 and Washington Street. Northbound traffic will shift into the existing southbound lane. 

The official detour follows U.S. 231 to U.S. 40, or S.R. 75 to U.S. 36 and back.

The Putnam County Sheriff's Department is among those psoting information related to the project about the road restrictions on Bloomington Street. Southbound traffic from Washington Street is currently closed. INDOT has blocked off both turning lanes, installed barricades and put up signs indicating that the road is closed and you can't turn there.

It's suggested that drivers plan on an alternate route (for example, Jackson St. or one of the many side roads for the smaller vehicles) that can get you around the construction.

This project may go on for several months.

The Putnam County Sheriff's Department notes that company responsible for the paving project is currently in contact with INDOT to see if more signs can be placed out there.
