Additional sections of State Road 39 will be closed today and tomorrow. Chip and seal work will have the road closed between State Road 10 and State Road 14, according to the Indiana Department of Transportation. That stretch is already closed to through traffic, due to a bridge replacement project.
Chip sealing involves spreading liquid asphalt on the roadway, then covering it with crushed stone to create a new surface. Once the asphalt cures, any excess chips are swept off the roadway. INDOT says the work extends the life of the pavement by protecting it from moisture, ultraviolet rays, and other damaging exposures.
Meanwhile, State Road 16 will be closed today between U.S. 421 and White County Road 200 West for a culvert replacement. Another culvert project will close State Road 14 tomorrow between Jasper County Roads 100 and 200 West.
