U.S. 31 restrictions begin next week in Jackson County

The Indiana Department of Transportation plans to restrict U.S. Highway 31 to a single lane near Seymour on Wednesday to allow for the installation of a Weigh In Motion scale. INDOT says that temporary traffic signals have been put in place to permit one-direction-at-a-time traffic at the 324-foot construction site approximately one-half mile north of U.S. 50.

INDOT officials say the work is part of a nearly seven-million dollar project that includes in-pavement sensing locations on Interstate 65 and State Road 7, as well as facilities on I-65 for certified scales and covered examinations just north of the Seymour exit.

The single-lane restriction on U.S. 31 is scheduled to remain in effect for up to 90 days.
