CARROLL AND CASS COUNTIES, Ind. – Indiana Department of Transportation maintenance crews will conduct directional closures on State Road 25 between U.S. 35 and State Road 218 for seal coating operations over the course of two weeks.

Starting on or after Monday, May 18, State Road 25 will be closed in the soutbound/westbound direction for approximately four days. Once complete, State Road 25 will then close in the northbound/eastbound direction, which is expected to occur on or after Tuesday, May 26 for approximately three days.

State Road 25 will be closed to all traffic between C.R. 300 S in Cass County to C.R. 600 N in Carroll County. Motorists should utilize the detour or seek alternate routes while this work is ongoing. The official detour will follow State Road 218, State Road 29, and State Road 329.

This work is weather sensitive so the schedule is subject to change. 

Seal coat projects treat the pavement surface with liquid asphalt material covered by crushed stone to provide a new roadway surface and prevent future deterioration. Seal coating provides waterproofing, crack sealing and improved traction. The roadway will also be fog sealed, which is a light layer of asphalt over the stone to help lock it in and also reduce dust. Learn more about the process on the INDOT website here.
