Motorists can expect lane closures on State Road 1 in Dearborn County starting in mid-October.
(Dearborn County, Ind.) - Indiana Department of Transportation officials met with its geohazard contractor Wednesday, September 26 at Seymour District offices to review plans for a $2,829,170 slide correction project on State Road 1 at an embankment site north of Greendale.
Geostabilization International is charged with stabilizing a 1740-foot-wide slope on S.R. 1 at a location six miles south of Interstate 74 in York Township of Dearborn County. The contractor plans to install 25-, 30- and 35-foot-long steel shafts into underlying bedrock along three eroding embankment sections—securing metal grids to the “soil nails” before overcoating the installation (measuring up to 12 feet in height) with shotcrete to form an anchored retaining wall.
Several drainage structures and placement of asphalt pavement are included in contracted work that is scheduled to begin next April.
Site clearing and utility relocations should start in mid-October. Motorists may experience lane closures as this advance work proceeds.
S.R. 1 has a traffic count of 4,310 vehicles per day.
