Greensburg project includes more than 500 new stop signs

GREENSBURG, Ind. (AP) More than 500 stop signs are being replaced in the southeastern Indiana city of Greensburg in a highway safety project.

Besides stop signs, the work includes other informational and warning signs. It is largely funded by the Federal Highway Administration. The city pays 10 percent of the project.

The $282,000 job starts in August with Shambaugh & Son of Fort Wayne hired to do the installation. It will take about three months to replace more than a thousand signs.

Indiana Department of Transportation engineers met with Greensburg officials and the city’s contractor to review plans last week.
