2 Bridges on 136 Being Replaced
| If you drive on U.S. 136 east of Crawfordsville, you should start planning on potential delays. The Indiana Department of Transportation recently announced single-lane closures that will impact two bridges on U.S. 136 just east of Crawfordsville. Beginning on or after Monday, April 7, crews will begin reducing traffic to single-lanes with temporary signals on the bridges over Walnut Fork on U.S. 136, located 2.8 and 4 miles east of State Road 32 respectively. This will allow them to safely complete superstructure replacements on the bridges. Work is anticipated to last until mid-September but is weather-dependent and subject to change. INDOT encourages drivers to slow down, use caution, and travel distraction-free in and near work zones. |
