The Indiana Department of Transportation announces two projects are scheduled to begin on SR 5 in Larwill on Monday, April 6.

The projects will include improvements to the railroad crossing located half a mile south of US 30, as well as road resurfacing from US 30 to Old Trail Road.

During the railroad crossing improvements, SR 5 will be closed to traffic between Main and North Streets in Larwill. The crossing improvement is tentatively scheduled to begin Monday, April 6, and the posted detour will be US 30 to SR 9 to SR 205 to SR 5.

After the crossing improvements have been completed, one lane of SR 5 is scheduled to re-open to traffic on Monday, April 13, if not before. At that time, traffic will be controlled by flaggers during the resurfacing. Work should be completed by mid-May.

The project was awarded to E & B Paving for $179,000.
