Vermillion County, IN – Drivers in Vermillion County are being advised to plan alternate routes today after officials announced the closure of a key county roadway for emergency utility repairs.
According to the Vermillion County Indiana Sheriff’s Office, County Road 1300 North is closed between County Road 50 West and County Road 50 East. The closure went into effect today and will remain in place until further notice as Duke Subcontractor AWP conducts utility repair work in the area.
Authorities did not provide an estimated reopening time, citing the ongoing nature of the repairs. Motorists traveling through northern Vermillion County—particularly those commuting between rural areas and nearby communities—should expect detours and potential delays.
The affected stretch of County Rd 1300N is frequently used by local residents, agricultural traffic, and service vehicles. Drivers are encouraged to slow down near the closure area and follow posted detour signs to ensure the safety of utility crews working on-site.
Local officials emphasized that the closure is necessary to allow crews to safely complete repairs and reduce the risk of further infrastructure damage. Residents living nearby may also notice increased construction vehicle traffic during the repair period.
The Vermillion County Sheriff’s Office recommends checking local traffic updates before heading out and allowing extra travel time, especially during morning and afternoon commute hours.
Anyone with questions about detours or access to nearby properties is encouraged to contact local authorities or utility representatives for additional guidance.
