Drivers utilizing State Road 7 in Jennings County need to be aware of some upcoming road work. The Indiana Department of Transportation says that its contractor for Phase I construction of the U.S. 50 Bypass project at North Vernon will perform remedial work later this week on State Road 7. Specifically, at the road’s intersection with State Road 750, says Harry Maginity, INDOT spokesman.

INDOT says that Dave O’Mara, the contractor responsible building 4.5 miles of the bypass between County Road 400 West and State Road 3, will return Thursday to mill surface pavement, and again on Friday to repave approaches on State Road 7. Maginity notes that the State Road 7 approaches extend nearly one-half mile in either direction from State Road 750.

INDOT says that drivers may experience “brief” delays as flaggers route traffic around moving work sites. INDOT officials say that they expect new pavement markings will be placed next week.
