INDOT Bridge Projects to Affect Area Highways

Posted on April 3, 2017

The Indiana Department of Transportation will close State Road 14 halfway between State Road 39 and U.S. 421 next week for a bridge repair project.

Crews are rehabilitating the bridge deck over the Monon Ditch and resurfacing it. The bridge will be closed to all traffic from Monday, April 10 through the end of October.

State road detours must be along state-maintained roadways. INDOT’s marked detour will use State Road 10 to get around the work.

INDOT will also begin work on the State Road 16/39 bridge over the Tippecanoe River in Buffalo on Monday, April 10. That project will also continue through the end of October.

The highway in White County will be open to all through traffic during that project but will be restricted to one lane in both directions. Motorists should expect periodic delays and allow extra time to travel through the Buffalo area. INDOT urges motorists to pay close attention to signs in the work zone, obey the posted speed limits and be on the alert for workers and equipment.

Drivers can monitor road closures and traffic alerts at any time via the INDOT Northwest District social media channels: www.Facebook.com/INDOTNorthwest or Twitter @INDOTNorthwest. Or visit http://www.trafficwise.in.gov for INDOT’s TrafficWise Traveler Information Service.
