JEFFERSON COUNTY, Ind. – The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) has announced a road closure on State Road 7 in Jefferson County.

Beginning Tuesday, September 8, crews will close State Road 7 near Madison, between Deputy Pike Road and Dawson Smith Road over Big Clifty Creek.

The road will close to allow for a small structure replacement project. Work is expected to last through the end of November, depending on the weather.
