Brookston, IN – A key roadway in White County is set to close in the coming days, impacting travel for residents and commuters in the Brookston area.
According to the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT), State Road 43 will be closed beginning on or after Monday, March 30, as crews begin a full-depth pavement replacement and drainage improvement project. The closure will affect a stretch of the highway running through Brookston in INDOT’s West Central District.
Officials said the project is expected to address long-term roadway conditions, improving both driving surfaces and water drainage systems along the route. While the closure may disrupt through traffic, INDOT indicated that access to local homes and businesses will be maintained throughout the duration of construction.
Drivers are advised to plan alternate routes and allow extra travel time when navigating the area. Detour information is expected to be posted, and motorists are encouraged to follow all posted signage and use caution in and around construction zones.
Projects like this are part of ongoing statewide infrastructure efforts aimed at improving road safety and extending the lifespan of heavily traveled routes. Local officials have not yet announced an exact completion date for the work.
INDOT urges drivers to stay updated on traffic conditions and construction progress through official channels and to remain alert for workers and equipment in the area once work begins.
