Pine Village, IN – Drivers in Warren County are seeing a smoother commute today as State Road 55 has officially reopened following a pavement replacement project near State Road 26, according to the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT).
According to INDOT’s West Central District, crews completed the work earlier today, allowing traffic to resume in both directions. The project, which focused on pavement replacement and surface improvements, had temporarily restricted access along the roadway near Pine Village. INDOT said the repairs were necessary to improve long-term safety and travel reliability for residents and commercial drivers who regularly use the corridor.
The agency noted that the area has experienced short-term detours and slower travel times throughout the duration of the project. With S.R. 55 now fully open, INDOT expects traffic flow to normalize immediately, especially for drivers connecting between Pine Village, Attica, and communities in both Warren and Benton counties.
According to transportation officials, the project is part of ongoing statewide infrastructure improvements aimed at strengthening rural highway routes. No additional closures are currently anticipated for this stretch of S.R. 55, though INDOT encourages drivers to monitor its social media pages and the INDOT TrafficWise map for real-time updates on future construction zones and travel impacts.
INDOT thanked the local community for its patience during the construction period, noting that the cooperation of residents and businesses helped crews complete the work efficiently.
Drivers in the area are encouraged to share if reopening S.R. 55 has shortened their commute or eased detour-related delays.
