State Road 3 Small Structure Project

DES NO. 2002272

NEAR MILROY, RUSH COUNTY, INDIANA

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The project is located on State Road (SR) 3 approximately 0.81 mile south of SR 244 near Milroy, Indiana. The project will replace the existing box culvert, CV 003-070-081.61, with an eight-foot by six-foot three-sided reinforced concrete box culvert. The new culvert will be 96 feet long and skewed 42 degrees. Unnamed tributary (UNT) 1 to Little Flatrock River will be realigned on the east side of the culvert approximately 30 feet to the northeast to address the current erosion. Riprap will be added to both ends of the structure. The pavement on SR 3 will be replaced with a Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) overlay and all pavement markings will be replaced in-kind. Additionally, the guardrails along both sides of SR 3 in the project area will be removed and replaced in-kind.
