sr-9-project-expected-to-close-roadway-for-three-days-in-early-december
A fix on a previous State Road 9 project will call for a closure in early December.
The upcoming road closure on North State Rd 9 is between 425 N and 500 N. It's scheduled to begin December 4 at 7 a.m. through 7 a.m. on December 7.
The last address accessible from the south is the house on the corner of 425 N which is addressed as 222 E 425 N. The last address reachable from the north is 4342 N State Rd 9.
In a recent meeting with INDOT, Morphey Construction noted this is the same location on SR 9 as work completed in August. There was a review conducted and it was determined a design error occurred and the 30 inch tile that runs under the highway needs to be reset 0.5' lower than the original plans indicated.
The revision of these plans, with the lower elevation will now accommodate two field tile that were not taken into account previously.
Morphey Construction has been tasked with setting up labor, equipment and materials to complete this project. After receiving the revision of the plans. Morphey Construction notified INDOT that many factors were complicating completing this project under the same work conditions as in August.
INDOT has permitted Morphey Construction to close SR9 at 425N location for 72 hours on or after December 4. This will be a weekday closure, for three consecutive days. However, due to the time of year and availability of materials this date may change as needed.
Morphey Construction plans on placing pre-closure signs along SR9 at the beginning of next week.
