BEAN BLOSSOM — Indiana Department of Transportation contractor Duncan Robertson Inc. plans to begin construction on or after Monday, May 3 at the State Road 135 bridge over Bean Blossom Creek in Brown County. The bridge is just south of State Road 45 and will be reduced to one 11-foot lane with temporary traffic signals as work progresses on a bridge deck overlay project. The signals are expected to remain in place through early August, weather permitting.
This project is part of a $1.2 million contract that includes a small structure replacement on S.R. 45, just west of S.R. 135, also in Brown County. Work is expected to begin on the structure replacement this summer.
INDOT also announced flagging operations on two S.R. 45 bridges over Bean Blossom Creek in Brown County starting on or after Monday, May 3, weather permitting. INDOT contractor Ragle Inc. will complete joint repair and replacement over a 10-day period. Flagging will take place during daytime hours. No lane restrictions or closures are planned at night.
Drivers are reminded to slow down, use extra caution, and drive distraction-free in and near all work zones. All work is weather-dependent and schedules are subject to change.
