About Interstate Paving & Road Maintenance LLC

State Road 3 and State Road 44 both run straight through Rushville before they open back up into Rush County's grid of gravel county roads, and Interstate Paving & Road Maintenance spends its summers keeping that pavement sound for the trucks that use it. Winter turns the same stretches into the job's other half—longer runs than a single driveway, plowed and re-plowed as a system pushes snow across open fields with nothing to break the wind. The crew works those state routes and the lots that open off them before the morning traffic builds, then circles back to the side roads and driveways once the main lines are clear. A hard freeze after a wet snow can turn a clean pass to glaze within an hour out here, so salting follows close behind the blade. By the time the sun's fully up over the open fields east of town, the roads look like they never held a flake.
