(Switzerland County, Ind.) - Indiana Department of Transportation contractor Paul H. Rohe Company is scheduled to close State Road 156 between Evans Hill Road and North Branch Road on or after Thursday, October 17, to begin slide correction work in Switzerland County.

State Road 156 will reopen to traffic utilizing flagging operations between S.R. 56 and North Landing Road prior to this closure.

The closure will take place approximately 3.5 miles south of Rising Sun and is expected to remain in place through mid-December, weather permitting. During the closure, motorists should use the official detour route which follows S.R. 56. 

This project is part of a $13.8 million contract awarded to Paul H. Rohe in May 2023. INDOT reminds drivers to slow down, use extra caution and avoid distractions when traveling in and near work zones. All work is weather-dependent and schedules are subject to change.
