State Road 252 through southern Shelby County will be closed, starting on Monday. The Indiana Department of Transportation will be setting up barricades near the town of Flat Rock at County Road 250W  all the way to the Flat Rock River.

The road will be closed for several months while they replace pavement, widen the road and install storm sewers. They will also be working on the bridges at Lewis Creek and the Flat Rock River.

Through traffic will be detoured from Interstate 65 to the town. You will end up taking a detour from I-65 to U.S. 31, State Road 46 and State Road. 9. .

This is apart of a $12 million dollar project rehabilitating seven miles of State Road 252. Milestone is the state’s contractor for the project.
