(Brookville, Ind.) - Indiana Department of Transportation contractor GeoStabilization International has completed slide repair work on S.R. 252 east of Brookville in Franklin County. The road is now open between the Whitewater River Bridge and Smith Road. Under the closure, crews constructed a soil nail wall to repair and stabilize a 920-foot section of roadway. 

Signage indicating rough pavement has been installed near the repair site prior to patching and paving that is expected to take place next month once weather is more consistent.
