The Indiana Department of Transportation will begin work on a $1.5 million bridge rehabilitation project on State Road 46 East in Brown County on or after Monday, March 16, weather permitting.
The project includes two bridges over North Fork Salt Creek, east of Nashville.
Crews will start with bridge deck replacement and widening on the bridge just east of Parkview Road. It will be reduced to one lane starting Monday with a temporary traffic signal through early August.
After the first bridge is completed, the contractor will move to the second bridge, the Sgt. Jeremy McQueary Bridge just west of Parkview Road. A bridge deck overlay will be done, and that bridge also will be reduced to one lane with a temporary signal.
Work will not take place on both bridges at the same time.
The contract was awarded to Duncan Robertson Inc. in November 2019 and is expected to be complete in late August. INDOT asks drivers to use extra caution, watch for slowed and/or stopped traffic, and drive distraction-free through the work zone. All work is weather dependent.
