Road Closure Scheduled for SR 165 Near Owensville

GIBSON COUNTY, Ind. – The Indiana Department of Transportation announces a complete closure on State Road 165 near Owensville for a culvert pipe replacement.

Beginning on or around Monday, July 19, INDOT maintenance close S.R. 165 between County Road 1075 West and C.R. 650 S to replace a drainage culvert. The operation requires a full pavement cut for excavation and replacement of the pipe.

Work is scheduled to last for about a day at each location depending upon weather conditions. Typically, crews will begin the operation after morning peak traffic hours and will complete the process before the evening peak traffic hours. Once workers fill the pavement cut, fill material is compacted under normal traffic conditions and resurfaced following compaction.

Local traffic will have access up to the point of closure, but all through traffic should use the official detour following S.R. 165, I-64 and S.R. 65. INDOT urges drivers to slow down and stay alert near crews.
