Daily Closures on SR 257 near Otwell for pipe replacement

Pike Co. – The Indiana Department of Transportation announces short road closures on State Road 257 in northern Pike County and Southern Daviess County. These closures are to replace pipe along the roadway.

This work is expected to begin on or around June 8.  There are five pipes being replaced. Pipe replacement will result in daily closures of State Road 257. Work includes full width pavement cut, removal of old pipe, and installation of new pipe. Each closure is expected to re-open in the afternoon.

Each pipe will be replaced one at a time. The first project is located just north of Otwell in Pike County near East County Road 550 North. The final project is located just north of the East Fork of the White River in Daviess County.

Work is expected to last until June 15, depending on weather.

An official detour for motorists is State Road 356 to State Road 57 to US 50. Local traffic will have access up to the point of closure.
