IN Department of Transportation, Roundabouts, & Unusual Sights

How does INDOT know when it’s time to replace a bridge or culvert? Special guests Sidney Nierman and Bob Tally join hosts Jeff Jarrett and Sal Sama for this episode of The High Ground powered by Premier Companies. Sidney is the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) District PR Director and Bob serves as the INDOT District Asset Engineer.  

In this episode, Bob and Sidney will share about their career paths and how they ended up working for INDOT, and Bob will shed some light on how his team evaluates the various INDOT assets to determine what needs to be repaired or replaced. We’ll also hear how INDOT determines how and when to communicate road closures to motorists and media outlets and how agriculture equipment impacts the modifications that are made to roadways. If you’ve ever been curious about why there are so many additional roundabouts or why there are so many orange barrels on the roadways, this is an episode you’re not going to want to miss!
