Lane closures to impact US 40 in Putnam County

PUTNAM CO. – The Indiana Department of Transportation announces alternating lane closures will be coming to U.S. 40 in Putnam County.

Beginning on or after Monday, May 13, crews will be closing one lane at a time with flaggers between County Road 800 West and US 231.

This will allow crews to perform geotechnical road evaluations and sample the pavement for future improvements. Work in this area is expected to last a couple of weeks but is weather permitting and subject to change.

INDOT encourages all drivers to slow down through the work zone and to avoid speeding and distracted driving.
