ST. JOSEPH COUNTY, Ind. – Indiana Department of Transportation contractor Milestone Contractors LP will conduct a one-day road closure on State Road 23 between South Bend and North Liberty, which is currently scheduled for Wednesday, October 21.

Crews will install a pipe structure between New Rd and Osborne Rd and place a high friction surface treatment thin overlay on State Road 23 from Madison Rd to Crumstown Highway. The closure is expected to be in place from approximately 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
