The S.R. 641 contract was awarded to Beaty Construction, Inc. from Boggstown for $46.8 million.  This is the last section of the bypass to be constructed and it runs from just south of Moyer Road to the I-70 interchange. The S.R. 641 project includes the construction of a new four-lane, full access control roadway connecting U.S. 41 southeast of Terre Haute to I-70 east of the city. 

​The entire bypass should be open to traffic late this year.  The first section of the S.R. 641 bypass opened in October of 2010, it takes motorists from U.S. 41 to McDaniel Road.

INDOT reminds drivers to use caution and consider worker safety when driving through a construction zone. ​
