NEWBURGH, Ind. -The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) is announcing that on Monday, July 6, Casey Road on the north side of State Road 66 (S.R. 66) and Lenn Road on the south side of S.R. 66 will close.  As work continues on the Major Moves project in Newburgh, crews will need to close these roadways.

This closure will allow crews to construct and realign the Casey Road approach with S.R. 66.  Crews will begin work at approximately 7:00 a.m. and the roadway will remain closed through the end of July.  Inclement weather may postpone the scheduled opening date.  Lenn Road will be permanently closed and will become a cul-de-sac at this location.

This work is in conjunction with the Major Moves added travel lanes project through the Town of Newburgh.  Contractor's crews will construct four new lanes, left turn lanes at major intersections and place new curb and gutter.  A new storm water drainage system will also be installed throughout the project.  Work began on this project in April of 2008 and the project is scheduled for completion in December of 2009.

Major Moves capitalizes on Indiana's strategic location at the Crossroads of America by building a superior road infrastructure.  This innovative plan will bring jobs to the Hoosier State and leave a legacy for Indiana to be a global leader in distribution and logistics.
 
INDOT encourages motorists to slow down and pay special attention while traveling through the work zones throughout Indiana.  This construction project has a reduced speed limit and is being monitored by the Indiana State Police.
