SR 236 closure near Russellville coming June 12

Friday, June 2, 2023

RUSSELLVILLE — An upcoming closure to State Road 236 near Russellville will commence next week and continue for at least three months.

The Indiana Department of Transportation announced this week that the road will close between State Road 59 and U.S. 231 beginning on our after Monday, June 12 and continuing through early September, weather permitting.

The official detour follows U.S. 231 to U.S. 36 to State Road 59.

This contract was awarded to Milestone Contractors South, LLC for $2.8 million. The entire contract is expected to be completed in June of 2024.

Crews will be constructing a functional Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) overlay. An HMA overlay is a combination of asphalt cement and aggregate placed over aging pavements as a pavement preservation treatment. The liquid asphalt binds the rocks together in a strong but flexible structure.

This work follows a similar resurfacing project performed on State Road 236 in recent years stretching from U.S. 231 east through Roachdale to the area of State Road 75 in North Salem.

  • Would be nice if they would provide some much needed info for the residents of the area such as is the entire stretch being shut down all at the same time or in sections? Will we be able to use the 2 crossroads leaving Russellville to the south? What routes will area businesses be able to use for heavy equipment and trucks? Will there be a public meeting in Russellville about this? So if 236 was the detour route because the bridge is closed on 59 in Waveland now what? I’m sure there are many more questions!!
