(SHOALS) - The Indiana Department of Transportation announces lane restrictions the State Road 450 Bridge over Indian Creek near Shoals beginning Monday, August 17.
Beginning at 7 a.m. INDOT will close one lane of the bridge for pavement rehabilitation. Contractors will perform a hydro demolition that will use highly pressurized water to identify areas in need of attention. Crews will also perform full and partial depth patching before overlaying the existing surface with new asphalt and replacing the existing approaches.
While one lane is closed, the other will be open and a temporary signal will direct traffic. Once work is completed on one side, traffic will switch over while crews work on the opposite lane. During the restrictions, loads over 11-feet wide will not be allowed.
Barrier wall will be placed to divide the traffic from the construction zone. The project is scheduled to continue until the beginning of December.
INDOT urges drivers to slow down and stay alert near crews. For construction updates and traffic alerts, follow INDOT on Facebook at www.facebook.com/INDOTVincennesDistrict and Twitter at www.twitter.com/INDOTSouthwest, or access INDOT's TrafficWise website at http://indot.carsprogram.org.
