Indiana Department of Transportation personnel met with contractor representatives, consulting engineers and Seymour officials at INDOT district offices Friday morning to launch a $681,650 construction project to rebuild West Second Street from just northeast of U.S. Highway 50 to Vehslage Road.

INDOT says that Milestone Constructors will be doing full-depth pavement replacement, installation of new storm and sanitary sewer lines and construction of sidewalks with curbs and ADA-complaint ramps. Work is scheduled to begin in early April. A street closure is tentatively scheduled for May 3.

INDOT says that the city of Seymour will cover 20 percent of project costs, while the Federal Highway Administration is funding the rest. The project will impact the 2,330 vehicles who utilize West Second Street every day.
