(Dearborn County, Ind.) - Indiana Department of Transportation officials met with its prime contractor and a geohazard stabilization subcontractor Thursday, May 31 at Seymour District offices for pre-construction planning of a $1,268,500 slide correction project involving two sites on State Road 262 south of Dillsboro.    

Paul H. Rohe Company will rebuild a tenth-of-a-mile section of S.R. 262 at West Laughrey Creek Road—located 3.9 miles south of U.S. Highway 50.  The Aurora-based contractor will place rip rap on the eroding slope east side of the roadway and set drainage installations.  Work calling for a 45-day closure is tentatively scheduled to begin July 19.  A signed detour will route motorists around the site via U.S. 50 and S.R. 56. 

Geostabilization International, serving as a subcontractor, is charged with soil nail operations along a 375-foot-wide embankment along S.R. 262—located 100 feet south of Downey Ridge Road.  In addition to the shotcrete-covered wall, the project calls for new pavement and paved ditches.
