It’s time! After years of planning and community information sessions, construction will start next week on the $29-million Charlestown Pike Road widening and improvement project.
The project will widen and improve Charlestown Pike from Holmans Lane to Salem-Noble Road, as well as Utica-Sellersburg Road from Charlestown Pike to State Road 62.

Signs will be in place for the closure and there will be detour signs directing traffic around the closed road. Traffic is encouraged to use Charlestown Pike to Holmans Lane and to 10th Street for the detour route.
This is a long-term closure. We will provide updates as they become available for the length of the closure. The relocation of the water line is expected to finish mid-late October.
We appreciate your patience as we work to make these necessary improvements!
