Work continues on State Road 135 in Johnson County. The Indiana Department of Transportation announced Wednesday that it will relocate milling and paving operations next week to the nearly 5.5 mile-long section between Bargersville and Stones Crossing. This work is part of an ongoing $6.1 million pavement preservation project in Johnson County that includes U.S. Highway 31, between County Line Road and Stop 18, and State Road 135 between County Line Road and Curry Road.

INDOT says that crews are scheduled to begin milling the asphalt pavement in State Road 135’s southbound lane near Smokey Row Road at 7 a.m. Monday. Next Wednesday, paving should begin along the same route. INDOT officials anticipate paving could continue for up to ten days. They add that all of this work is scheduled to take place during daylight hours. No work is scheduled over the Labor Day weekend, including Friday, Sept. 1. INDOT stresses that all of this work is dependent on the weather.

INDOT officials note that while paving operations on that section of State Road 135 are starting up, construction activities within the section between County Line Road and Curry Road are winding down.

In the north section, mainline paving resumes Wednesday night in State Road 135’s northbound left lane north of Meridian Parke Drive. The schedule is as follows:

• Wednesday & Thursday night—milling and paving
• Friday night—milling only
• Sunday & Monday nights—paving only
