Pipe replacement on SR 59 near Goose Pond has been rescheduled

GREENE COUNTY, Ind. – The Indiana Department of Transportation announces the rescheduling of a road closure for a pipe replacement project on State Road 59 in Linton near Goose Pond Fish and Wildlife Area.

Previously the project had been scheduled to begin Monday, Aug. 10. However, due to weather conditions and high water levels, INDOT maintenance crews have rescheduled the replacement of a culvert pipe on S.R. 59 until on or around Monday, Aug. 17. This project will require a full excavation. During this operation, the road will be closed to through traffic, however local traffic will have access up to the point of closure.

Work is expected to last for about 15 days depending upon weather conditions. The official detour for this closure follows S.R. 67.  INDOT urges drivers to slow down and stay alert near crews.
