State Road 144 construction to start Friday

Construction to resurface the asphalt on State Road 144 is set to begin Friday, and lane closures are expected.

The $1.7 million project includes patching, repaving and milling 4.8 miles of State Road 144, between Bargersville and Franklin, according to an Indiana Department of Transportation news release. Crews will begin saw-cutting to start the repatch of the road, which will take place through April. Milling will start in May, following by repaving. Construction is expected to wrap up in June, the news release said.

Travelers should expect lane closures along that stretch of the road for the next three months, with flaggers controlling traffic. Stop light signal timing at the State Road 135 intersection will also be impacted.
