The Indiana Department of Transportation announces that asphalt resurfacing on SR 19 between Akron and Mentone has begun. The limits of the project are from SR 14 to SR 25.

Thru traffic will be permitted under the direction of flaggers, with single lane traffic in alternating directions.  Motorists should be aware of merging construction traffic and shoulder work.

E & B Paving was awarded the contract based on the low bid of $2.3 million. The project is scheduled for completion by mid-October 2012.

INDOT reminds drivers to use caution and consider worker safety when driving through a construction zone.  For the latest news and information about INDOT, visit www.in.gov/indot. You can find traffic restriction information at www.trafficwise.IN.gov.
