BUTLER, IN – The Indiana Department of Transportation says that part of State Road 1 in Butler will close soon for work.

The City of Butler will be doing sewer work between RE Jones Road and Depot Street.

Construction is scheduled to begin on or after Monday, August 22, with work expected to wrap up by the beginning of December.

During the closure, drivers are encouraged to use the approved detour of State Road 8, I-69 and U.S. 6, or seek an alternate route.

INDOT urges drivers to consider worker safety by slowing down, using extra caution and driving distraction-free when traveling in and around all work zones.

All work is weather-dependent and schedules are subject to change.
