We’re passing along a reminder for those driving through the Shoals area.

INDOT maintenance crews are closing State Road 550 near Shoals between Abel Hill Road and Boyd Hollow Road on or around Wednesday, October 20th to replace a drainage culvert crossing all lanes of traffic

Work will require complete excavation of the existing structure, replacement, and backfill. Crews will allow the fill material to compact under normal traffic conditions before returning later to replace the top layer of asphalt.

Work is expected to last for about a day depending on weather conditions. The operation will begin after morning peak traffic times and the road is expected to re-open before the afternoon peak traffic times.

During this project, the road will be completely closed to through traffic.

Local traffic will have access up to the point of closure, but through traffic should use the official detour following the U.S. 50 and U.S. 150.

INDOT urges drivers to slow down and stay alert near crews.
