Workers for the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) are focusing their efforts on patching potholes and removing litter from along highways throughout the area.  The Annual Trash Bash takes place from April 6-28, 2013 and coincides with National Earth Day to aid in raising awareness of litter. 

INDOT crews along with crews from the Indiana Department of Correction (DOC) and Adopt-A-Highway remove hundreds of tons of rubbish and debris from the roadway edges in time for spring each year.  In 2012, 15,812 bags of trash were collected from state highways and right-of-way areas.

The Indiana Department of Transportation says State Road 145 from State Road 64 (Birdseye) to Interstate 64 (Siberia) is back open after closing because of high waters Monday.

The Indiana Department of Transportation is focusing attention on what is likely the first statewide winter storm of the season, and is asking motorists to do the same.

INDOT’s salt domes and barns are stocked and ready, but motorists will need to dust off winter driving habits following last year’s mild winter. Motorists are asked to promote their own safety and that of others by reducing their speed according to road conditions and increasing the distance between themselves and other vehicles, especially INDOT’s yellow plow trucks.
