State Road 54 to Close near Dugger

Coal company to move equipment across roadway

SHELBURN, IN - The Indiana Department of Transportation announces that State Road 54 (S.R. 54) will be closing near Dugger. 

Working in conjunction with Peabody Coal Company officials, INDOT will be closing S.R. 54 from the junction of U.S. Route 41 (U.S. 41) to the junction of State Road 59 (S.R. 59).  The coal company will be moving equipment across the highway, 6.77 miles east of U.S. 41.

The road is currently scheduled to close on or after Saturday, August 28 and could remain closed up to five days.  There is a possibility the closure could take place as soon as Wednesday, August 25, if all issues are resolved.  All closure dates and times are dependent upon weather and equipment. 
 
No through vehicle traffic will be allowed, however local residents will have access to the point of closure.  All lanes of traffic will be closed at the equipment crossing location.  The official detour will follow U.S. 41, S.R. 48 and S.R. 59.

INDOT reminds motorists to follow the posted work zone speed limit, use caution and consider worker safety when traveling through a construction zone. For more information regarding this project, please contact Meg Gallagher of Peabody Coal Company at (314) 342-7963.
