COLUMBUS, Ind. — The city of Columbus will close Rocky Ford Road to all through traffic from Taylor to Talley Roads beginning Wednesday, August 24, at 9 a.m. Also, the road will be closed to all traffic from Talley Road to Virginia Street. A detour route has been posted.
Crews will begin water main and storm sewer construction as part of the major reconstruction of Rocky Ford Road. Crews have been working in the area this year relocating utilities to accommodate the new road design. The new road will consist of two driving lanes in either direction with a turn lane, curb and sidewalks on both sides of the road. Pedestrian crossings will be added at key locations.
The project has an estimated cost of $4,259,000, and is scheduled to be complete in late 2017.
