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.

INDOT Schedules Chip Sealing in Pulaski County
Posted on August 27, 2016

A section of U.S. 421 in Pulaski County will be closed next week for chip seal work. Starting Monday, INDOT will close the highway between the State Road 14 west junction and State Road 114. It’s scheduled to reopen Wednesday, but the work is dependent on the weather.
State road detours must be along state-maintained roadways. Drivers heading north on U.S. 421 will be detoured west on 114, north on U.S. 231 and east onto 14 to get back to 421. Southbound motorists will take 14 west to 231 South to 114 east to get back to 421.
INDOT officials say chip sealing extends the life of a roadway by protecting it from moisture, ultraviolet degradation and other damaging exposures. It also reestablishes surface friction, which makes the pavement safer for the motoring public.
