Three Star Painting Inc. is scheduled to begin work on a $1.7 million bridge painting contract in Jackson, Jennings and Jefferson counties next week.

Crews will begin work on the State Road 258 bridge over the East Fork White River west of Seymour on or after Monday. Significant traffic impacts are not expected, but flagging may be necessary at times.

Other structures include State Road 3 over the Muscatatuck River in Jennings County, State Road 7 over Middle Fork Creek and State Road 56 over Indian-Kentuck Creek in Jefferson County.

The Indiana Department of Transportation contract was awarded in November 2019 and is expected to be complete by Oct. 31.

INDOT urges motorists to slow down, use extra caution and drive distraction-free through all work zones. All work is weather dependent.
