(Dearborn County, Ind.) – Indiana Department of Transportation’s contractor for “white-topping” U.S. Highway 50 from State Road 101 west of Dillsboro to a terminus just west of Aurora plans to be onsite next week, weather permitting, to install temporary crossovers that will be used for shifts in the east-west highway’s traffic pattern.

Walsh Construction of Crown Point, Indiana’s contractor for this $16,790,126 concrete-over-asphalt resurfacing project will place cross-median asphaltlanes on U.S. 50 at either end of the project limits.

The contract calls for asphalt and concrete patching, construction of new driveway and road/street approaches—and a 4½-inch concrete overlay atop the existing asphalt base.

The 4.56 mile section of U.S. 50 to be white-topped begins 1.85 miles east of S.R. 262 and ends 2.44 miles west of S.R. 350. Motorists will experience single-lane traffic in both directions on the north side of the roadway beginning in April.

The project has a completion date of November 15.

Daily traffic count is 13,490 vehicles per day.
