Welcome to Salem Indiana

Salem is located in scenic Southern Indiana just 35 miles north of Louisville, Kentucky and less than 100 miles south of Indianapolis, Indiana. Salem is a great place to live and make a living. We have high achieving public schools, and a wide variety of community activities. Salem also has a strong and diverse economic base. If you're a visitor to Salem, we hope you will take note of our many unique and historic destinations. As a city, Salem has retained much of its small town flavor, a flavor that is enhanced by the city’s tree-lined streets, stately old homes and a friendly atmosphere that has been nurtured and handed down through the generations.
City of Salem Announces Phase 2 of S. Main Street Rehabilitation
- Details
The City of Salem, in partnership with INDOT, will begin construction on Phase 2 of the S. Main Street rehabilitation project on November 17.
Phase 2 will follow the recent Phase 1 improvements, which extended from the north entrance of the downtown square to the Hackberry/Hwy 56 boundary. The new construction limits will run from the south entrance of the downtown square to the Blue River bridge.
The improvements include new curbs and gutters, storm sewer upgrades, improved lighting, ADA-compliant enhancements, and new street pavement. All work begins on November 17th, starting with storm sewer upgrades. The overall schedule depends on winter weather conditions, with major road work to resume in the spring.
No lane closures are expected, though minor lane modifications may arise during construction. All businesses will remain open and accessible throughout rehabilitation.
