SR 38 & SR 47 Improvements within the Town of Sheridan

Project Purpose & Need

The need for this project is due to the poor condition of the existing pavement. The purpose of this project is to restore rideability of the roadway, delay further deterioration of the existing asphalt pavement and extend the service life of the roadway for another 15 to 20 years.

Proposed Improvements

To address this need and fulfill the project’s purpose, INDOT will be making the following improvements;

• Resurface SR 38 from Hamilton/Boone County Line to SR 47
  • Fully reconstruct pavement from 2^nd Street to 6^th Street in Downtown Sheridan
• Replace segmented curb with permanent curb
• Increasing turning radii at W. 2^nd Street & Sherman St. and E. 6^th Street & Main St
• Replace a majority of sidewalk along 6^th St
• Add sidewalk from Tinker Street to SR 47
• Repair curb ramps throughout entire project limits
• Replace and repair several drainage structures

Maintenance of Traffic

Most of this project will be performed under traffic, however INDOT does have planned closures for the full depth pavement replacement between 2^nd and 6^th Street. Coordination with the Town of Sheridan, EMS, Schools, businesses, etc. is ongoing, and updating information will be shared when available.

Schedule

This project is currently scheduled to bid Winter 22/23, with Construction taking place Summer 2023.

INDOT will be hosting a Public Information Meeting to present the proposed improvements and gather public input on the project.
