Residents and business owners who depend on State Road 64 through Huntingburg will get a chance July 8 to examine INDOT’s paving and rightsizing project before work begins to reshape the corridor. The Indiana Department of Transportation’s Southwest office will hold an open house from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at Huntingburg Public Library, 419 N. Jackson St.

INDOT says the meeting will not include a formal presentation, making it an open-house format where people can move through the material, learn more about the proposed project and leave feedback. For a road that serves as a major east-west route in southern Indiana, that kind of public review matters because even routine paving work can change how traffic flows through Huntingburg, where drivers turn, and how easily customers reach businesses along the corridor.

The project is part of a broader pattern of INDOT work on State Road 64, a route that has also seen bridge replacement projects elsewhere in the corridor. INDOT’s statewide traffic and project pages are used to track current road conditions, construction updates and public involvement opportunities, giving drivers a place to watch for restrictions as projects move from planning into construction.

Huntingburg Public Library, at 419 N. Jackson St., will serve as the meeting site for the open house. The location puts the discussion in the middle of town, where the effects of SR 64 work would be felt most directly by people who use the road every day to get across Dubois County, reach downtown Huntingburg or move goods and customers along the state highway.

The July 8 session is scheduled for Wednesday, July 8, 2026, and INDOT is using the open house to collect input on a project that will affect the daily rhythm of one of southern Indiana’s most important corridors. For anyone who drives, shops or works along SR 64 in Huntingburg, the event is the first public look at how INDOT plans to handle the road’s future use, access and traffic movement.
