INDIANAPOLIS (WTWO/WAWV) The Indiana Department of Transportation announced Thursday seal coat operations will begin in May.
Depending upon weather conditions, INDOT crews will begin seal coat operations on State Road 358 in Knox County beginning on or around Tuesday, May 4. Multiple locations are scheduled for seal coat operations, with work scheduled to last five-six weeks district wide, depending upon weather conditions.
Typically seal coat operations in one location will last for about four days, depending upon weather conditions, and will be performed under lane restrictions with flaggers directing traffic through the work zone. Once the seal coat has cured, workers will come back and fog seal to lock out moisture and protect the new driving surface.

INDIANAPOLIS – Governor Eric J. Holcomb and Indiana Department of Transportation Commissioner Joe McGuinness have announced 218 Indiana cities, towns, and counties received a combined $100.2 million in state matching funds for local road projects through Community Crossings, a component of the Governor’s Next Level Roads program.
“Superior transportation infrastructure – from interstates to local roads and everything connecting in between – make our communities safer attractive places to do business and create jobs, Governor Holcomb said. Thriving communities, in turn, provide exceptional places for Hoosiers to call home and raise families. With that in mind, I’m so pleased to invest and partner with local leaders to deliver on high-priority projects that keep Indiana moving forward.”
