(Ripley County, Ind.) – Indiana Department of Transportation maintenance crews plan to begin chip seal operations on State Road 129 in Ripley County on or after Tuesday, July 30.

Crews will be working between State Road 62 and U.S. 421, south of Versailles.

Motorists should expect lane closures and flagging while work is in progress.

Chip seal work typically lasts three to four days per location depending upon weather. The technique is a cost-effective pavement preservation that is utilized across the state of Indiana, saving an estimated six to 14 dollars in taxpayers expenditures for every dollar invested in extending the life of a roadway.

INDOT reminds drivers to slow down, avoid distractions, and consider worker safety when traveling through active work zones. All work is weather-dependent and schedules are subject to change.
