Chip seal preservation begins Monday on State Road 236

MARSHALL – A chip-and-seal preservation project is scheduled to begin on State Road 236 on Monday, July 20, weather permitting, the Indiana Department of Transportation has announced.

Work is scheduled to begin on the roadway from U.S. 41 to State Road 59, excluding the town of Marshall.

Drivers can expect lane restrictions and traffic directed by flagging operations while INDOT maintenance crews maintain access for vehicles. Motorists are urged to seek an alternate route.

When driving through the chip seal work zone, drivers should take extra caution, drive slowly and allow additional space between vehicles to prevent stone chips from damaging windshields or paint.

Once the chip seal has cured, crews will sweep the highway clear of loose stone, apply a fog seal surface coat and paint pavement markings.
