US31 IMPROVEMENTS:
It is finally upon us… The US31 improvement project. Utility relocations will begin in March and run through the end of the year 2025. Once complete, the actual US31 project will begin and is scheduled to continue through all or most of 2026 depending on weather. To see all the construction plans related to this project as well as an informational video that was part of the community meeting held at Town Hall on 9/15/22, click the button below.
An enlarged set of renderings are also available to view at Town Hall.
Project Points of Fact:
- A third lane will be added the entire distance from Utica Street to 403.
- 403 intersection will be reconstructed/modified.
- US31/Prather Ln. intersection will be reconstructed/modified.
- There are no roundabouts as part of this project.
- Complete sidewalks will be constructed from Prather Lane to Silver Creek Campus. Sidewalk repairs from Silver Creek Campus to Indiana Avenue in Speed.
- This project will add significant stormwater improvements along the corridor to help address stormwater issues in and around downtown Sellersburg.
- Signalized crosswalks will be added at several locations within the project including Hauss Avenue, the Library, and Utica Street.
- INDOT will be constructing a new permanent stop light at E. St. Joe and SR60 in the fall of this year in preparation for the US31 construction to take place in 2026. This light is something the Town was able to work with INDOT on as everyone locally knows the danger of this intersection already. Traffic is expected to increase here as a means of avoiding 31 to get to SC schools during the project.
Thank you to INDOT for this additional stop light project prior to the start of the US31 Project.
OTHER INDOT PROJECTS IN THE WORKS:
-Stoplight at SR60 and W. St. Joe Rd
-Roundabout at SR60 and CR311
-Roundabout at SR60 and Perry Crossing
-Roundabout at SR60 and Grantline Rd.
TOWN OF SELLERSBURG AND CLARK COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WORKING TOWARDS SOLUTION OF CR311:
The Town is also working with the Clark County Commissioners on a CR311 reconstruction/improvement project from SR60 to Enterprise Dr. This project will add a lane, multi-use path along the roadway, and streetscapes. CR311 (Charlestown Rd) through Town is a Clark County Highway and not a Town road. We thank the Clark County Commissioners for working with us to solve this long overdue roadway improvement project.
