Road Closure Scheduled for Pipe Replacement on SR 62 in Perry County

Perry Co. – The Indiana Department of Transportation announces a complete road closure for State Road 62 near St. Croix.

Beginning on or around Tuesday, April 19, INDOT maintenance crews will begin the process to extract and replace a culvert pipe across S.R. 62 between S.R. 37 and S.R. 145. This operation requires a full width pavement cut to excavate and replace the pipe. Workers will then fill the pavement cut with gravel, which will be allowed to compact under traffic conditions before repaving at a later date.

The project is expected to take about one day depending upon weather conditions. The road will close following the morning peak hours. Local residents will have access up to the point of closure but all through traffic should use the official detour following S.R. 145, I-64, and S.R. 37

INDOT urges drivers to slow down and stay alert near crews.
