State Road 59 near Midland to be closed starting next Monday, June 3

GREENE COUNTY, Ind. – The Indiana Department of Transportation announces a road closure for State Road 59 near Midland for a drainage structure replacement.

Beginning on or around Monday, June 3, contractors will close S.R. 59 from the intersection of S.R. 54 to the intersection of S.R. 48 as they work to replace a small drainage structure located about three miles north of the west junction of S.R. 54/59. This requires a complete excavation, including pavement cuts across the width of the roadway.

Depending upon weather conditions, the project is scheduled to last until mid to late June. Local traffic will have access up to the point of closure, however through traffic should use the official detour of S.R. 54, S.R. 67, S.R. 157 and S.R. 48.

INDOT urges drivers to slow down and stay alert near crews.
