(Ripley County, Ind.) - Indiana Department of Transportation maintenance crews plan to begin chip seal operations on State Road 46 in Ripley County on or after Wednesday, July 17.

Crews will be active between State Road 129 and State Road 101, east of Batesville.

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

Chip seal operations typically lasts three to four days, weather permitting. This type of project is looked at as a cost-effective pavement preservation technique that is utilized across the state, saving an estimated six to 14 dollars in taxpayer 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.
