WAVELAND The Indiana Department of Transportation announces a public information meeting will be held Thursday for the proposed State Road 59 pavement rehabilitation and bridge replacement project. This project on S.R. 59 extends from C.R. 1150S to State Road 47 in Waveland.

The meeting will be held at the Waveland Community Center, 108 Howard St. Doors will open at 5 p.m. with the presentation to begin at 5:30 p.m.

The project proposes milling, resurfacing and widening S.R. 59 from the beginning of the project to the Main Street and Cross Street intersection, and from north of the bridge over Little Raccoon Creek to S.R. 47.

On S.R. 59 (Main Street), the pavement will be widened approximately two feet to allow for the installation of a storm sewer system with adequate curb offset. The pavement on S.R. 59 will be widened approximately eight feet in areas where there is existing gravel for on-street parking. The existing 11-foot wide travel lanes, on-street parking, and curb and gutter on S.R. 59 (Cross Street) from the intersection of Main Street and Cross Street to the bridge over Little Raccoon Creek will be replaced. The curbs and storm sewer system will be replaced within the downtown area and added to the roadway between the downtown area and the bridge.

Existing sidewalks, from approximately one half of one mile west of the Main Street and Cross Street intersection to the Main Street and Cross Street and from the Cross St and Green Street intersection to just south of the bridge replacement, will be reconstructed to be ADA compliant.

The project will replace the S.R. 59 Bridge over Little Raccoon Creek.

This public information meeting is opportunity for INDOT to meet with members of the community regarding the road work, solicit input and address concerns the community may have regarding the proposed project.
