The new Yellowwood Lake Road is now open.
The Indiana Department of Transportation opened the final section of rebuilt road through Yellowwood State Forest Friday afternoon.
This year, INDOT, in conjunction with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, reconstructed a 1.3-mile segment of gravel road north of the lake’s parking lot, raising the grade and adding drainage structures. The $4,363,000 Phase II work also included building a single-span bridge over Jackson Creek and reconstructing 1.5 miles of Yellowwood Road pavement north of State Road 46.
Last year, Phase I was completed, which included paving roads south of Yellowwood Lake’s parking lot and constructing a 300-foot-long bridge on Yellowwood Road over Salt Creek.
