(Ripley County, Ind.) – Work is expected to start this week on U.S. 421 in Jefferson and Ripley counties.

INDOT maintenance crews plan to begin chip seal operations on or after Wednesday, August 14.

Crews will be active between State Road 62 in Jefferson County and South Old Michigan in Ripley County. Motorists should expect lane closures and flagging while working is in progress.

Chip seal work typically lasts three to four days per location depending upon weather. Chip seal is a cost-effective pavement preservation technique that is utilized across the state of Indiana, saving an estimated six to 14 dollars in taxpayers expenditures for every dollar invested in extending the life of a roadway.

All work is weather-dependent, and schedules are subject to change.
