The project is slated to begin Monday in Franklin County.
(Franklin County, Ind.) - U.S. 52 will close on or after Monday, June 3, weather permitting, between New Trenton and Cedar Grove for emergency slide correction work.
INDOT contractor GeoStabilization International will place a soil nail wall on the east side of the roadway, approximately one mile north of New Trenton. Soil boring will also take place on the west side of the road, along the railroad and Whitewater River.
U.S. 52 will be closed for 90 days and will reopen as one lane with a temporary traffic signal in September. The repair is expected to be complete by late December and the road will open as two lanes at that time.
The official state detour for the closure is S.R. 46 to S.R. 1 to the intersection of U.S. 52/S.R. 1, north of Cedar Grove.
