The Indiana Department of Transportation is set to continue a road reconstruction project this week on State Road 64 in Francisco.
Beginning on or around this Tuesday, March 1st, contractors will resume the full closure on S.R. 64 for complete removal and replacement of the pavement.
The project limits will be from Cross Street near Francisco Elementary School to the railroad crossing west of the school near the town limits.
Work is scheduled to last until the beginning of November depending upon weather conditions.
This also includes a third phase of the project to resurface S.R. 64 in Oakland City.
During phase 2 of the project, through traffic will be prohibited.
Local traffic will have access up to the points of closure, but all through traffic should use the official detour following U.S. 41, S.R. 168, and I-69.
INDOT urges drivers to slow down and stay alert near crews.
