State Road 252 to see closures next week

The Indiana Department of Transportation plans to have intermittent closures on State Road 252 near Flat Rock next week.

Contractors will be clearing the right-of-way for an upcoming road widening and resurfacing project on State Road 252 and are expected to be working between Interstate 65 and Flat Rock starting at 8 Monday morning.

The $12 million dollar project will work on seven miles of the state road in southwestern Shelby County. That will include bridge work at Lewis Creek and the Flat Rock River. They will also be replacing many drainage structures along the highway.
