INDOT contractor to close State Road 258 in Jackson County next week

JACKSON COUNTY, Ind.— Indiana Department of Transportation contractor 5 Star Company, Inc. plans to close State Road 258 just east of State Road 58 on or after Tuesday, Oct. 8, to complete a small structure replacement project in Jackson County.

The closure will take place approximately 2.5 miles east of Freetown and is expected to be complete by late November, weather permitting. Crews will begin to place signage in the area prior to the start of construction. During the closure, motorists should use the official detour route which follows State Road 135 to U.S. 50 to State Road 258.

This project is part of a $1.1 million contract awarded to 5 Star in July 2023. INDOT reminds drivers to slow down, use extra caution and avoid distractions when traveling in and near work zones. All work is weather-dependent and schedules are subject to change.
