Boone County, IN – Drivers in Boone County should prepare for detours beginning today as County Road 300 North is set to close for nearly a week due to utility construction tied to new water and sewer line installation.
According to the Boone County Indiana Sheriff’s Office and Lebanon Public Works Department, CR 300 N will be fully closed from Tuesday, December 17, through Monday, December 23. The closure will affect the section of roadway located east of the railroad tracks and west of State Road 39.
Officials say the shutdown is necessary to allow crews to safely install underground water and sewer infrastructure. During the closure, no through traffic will be permitted in the affected zone, and drivers are urged to follow posted detour signs and allow extra travel time, especially during peak commuting hours.
The impacted stretch of CR 300 N is frequently used by residents traveling between rural Boone County neighborhoods and the Lebanon area, making the closure a notable inconvenience for daily commuters, school traffic, and local deliveries. Emergency services have been notified of the closure to ensure continued response coverage.
Drivers heading toward SR 39 or traveling east-west through the Lebanon area should consider alternate routes in advance. Officials also encourage motorists to remain alert for construction workers and equipment once work is underway.
The Boone County Sheriff’s Office advises residents to monitor local traffic updates and social media channels for any changes to the closure schedule due to weather or construction progress.
