Section of U.S. 50 in Seymour to close next week

The Indiana Department of Transportation plans to close U.S. Highway 50 next week at the railroad crossing located in Seymour between Indianapolis Avenue and East Street. The closure is set for 6 p.m. Wednesday through 6 p.m. Thursday.

A state highway detour routes motorists around this U.S. 50 rail closure via U.S. 31, State Road 250 and State Road 11. Louisville & Indiana Railroad crews will replace existing rubber panels at the U.S. 50 crossing with new concrete panels. This involves removing tracks and adjusting the elevation.
