DeMotte, IN – Drivers in Jasper County should prepare for delays next week as a section of State Road 10 will close for several days.
According to the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT), crews will begin seal coating operations on or after Tuesday, August 26, shutting down State Road 10 between U.S. 231 and State Road 49 for approximately three days.
INDOT advises motorists to follow the official detour using U.S. 231, State Road 14 and State Road 49. Local traffic should exercise caution and follow posted directions in the work zone. The agency noted the work is weather dependent, and the schedule is subject to change.
Seal coating, also known as chip sealing, is a preventive road maintenance process designed to extend the life of pavement by protecting it from water and traffic wear. INDOT said the closure will be temporary, but motorists should expect potential travel delays during the project.
Drivers traveling between DeMotte, Wheatfield and Roselawn are encouraged to allow extra time and plan alternate routes during the closure. Updates will be available on INDOT’s traffic site and social media channels.
