Hoke Ave Closure Update; Rain Could Delay Re-Opening to Monday

FRANKFORT, Ind. – Work at the intersection of Hoke and Walnut Avenue, known as the “jog” on State Road 28, came to a stop on Tuesday due to rain overnight Monday into Tuesday morning. The necessary underground infrastructure improvements are part of the INDOT State Road 28 project.

Frankfort street superintendent Jason Forsythe provided an update at the city council meeting Monday evening with a look towards Tuesday’s rain.

“As Hoke Avenue goes, they closed it down today (Monday). It’s supposed to be done sometime Saturday. Obviously, I think it’s supposed to get a pretty good amount of rain tonight (Monday) and I think even tomorrow (Tuesday) which could push things back a little bit obviously in construction.

“But they were working hard down there today (Monday). I had several crews down there getting things done. Hopefully, Saturday. Obviously they won’t work on Sunday.

“So it could be Monday with the rain.”
