US 41 construction project update

Contractors crews have capitalized on the dry weather and are wrapping up the construction of the new State Road 64 exit ramp from U.S. 41 in Princeton.  By the end of the day on Tuesday, July 3, the exit ramp will be re-opened to motorists.  This work is a part of INDOT’s $4.9 million road resurfacing project.

This contract was awarded to E & B Paving of Anderson, Indiana earlier this year and includes slip liner installation into drainage pipes under U.S. 41, turn lane and radii improvements at the intersections of U.S. 41 and S.R. 168 and at U.S. 41 and C.R. 350 South (Toyota), the rebuilding of the exit ramp from U.S. 41 north bound to S.R. 64 east bound, deep patching the roadway in areas, milling the existing roadway and resurfacing the road.

Brumfield overpass to open a little early?

Brumfield overpass to open a little early?

It won't be official until a walking inspection Thursday evening, but it's possible the Brumfield overpass in Princeton could re-open a few days ahead of schedule.

The county engineer says the overpass, which has been closed to traffic for repair work since March, could help divert traffic off West Broadway where crews are working to repair a water leak.

Princeton Police handed out 358 seat belt citations and 12 child restraint citations during the recent Click it or Ticket mobilization.  The blitz, conducted May 21-June 3, was aimed at encouraging more drivers and passengers to get into the habit of buckling up.

"A majority of people have gotten the message, but many have not," said Princeton PD Detective Mike Hurt.  "Our job is to save lives and we want everyone to have the best chance of surviving a fatal crash by always buckling up."
