Thousands of students will soon be heading back to school and Indiana State Police at Evansville want to remind all motorists the importance of slowing down and keeping a watchful eye for students. Warrick County – Motorists that travel S.R. 261 between S.R. 66 and Old Plank Road are reminded that construction work and lane restrictions are still present. The speed limit on S.R. 261 in the construction zone is 35 mph. S.R. 261 along with S.R. 66, Oak Grove Road, Vann Road and Casey Road are all roadways that will see an increase number of vehicles in the morning and afternoon when school starts August 12th. Troopers anticipate an unusual high amount of traffic the first several days as parents choose to transport their younger children to school versus riding the school bus. In years past, the unusual heavy traffic has created traffic backups and delays in the area of S.R. 261 and Oak Grove Road near John H. Castle Elementary School and Castle North Middle School. Indiana State Police and Warrick County School Corporation personnel strongly encourage parents to allow their children to ride their designated school bus to school to help alleviate the high volume of traffic. Extra troopers will be present in the morning and afternoon to monitor traffic conditions and to ensure motorists are traveling safely.
