Drainage work to cause restrictions on Newton Street/U.S. 231 in Jasper

Jasper — The Indiana Department of Transportation will begin work on Newton Street/U.S. 231 in Jasper between West 17th Street (near the water tower) up to the entrance to Country Club Drive or the entrance to Klubhuas 61 and Retro next week.

Beginning on or around Monday, April 17, crews will restrict the northbound lane to allow crews to perform drainage construction work.

During construction, the middle turn lane will be utilized as a temporary northbound lane. Work is expected to continue through mid-May, depending on the weather.

INDOT urges drivers to slow down and stay alert near crews.
