CLARKSVILLE, IN (March 14, 2023) – Construction on phase 2 of the Town of Clarksville’s plan to improve Blackiston Mill Road will begin on Wednesday, March 15th. This will mean a closure of the road to thru-traffic from Altawood Drive to the back of the Kroker parking lot. Residents will have access as well as those trying to access businesses in the area.

Crews are working to add sidewalks, a new turning lane into the Peddler’s Mall entrance, new sight lines for motorists, and improved drainage for stormwater runoff. The first part of the project will be completed by Indiana American Water, which is replacing an 8 inch water line with a new and improved 24 inch water line.

Last week, project leaders hosted a public meeting to discuss the project and the necessary road closures. You can watch our video from that meeting below. The closure of Blackiston Mill Road is scheduled for March 15th through November 20th.
