JACKSON/WASHINGTON, CO.— Indiana Department of Transportation contractor Force Construction Company reopened the State Road 39 bridge over Pond Creek last Friday following a superstructure replacement project in Jackson County. The bridge is located between S.R. 256 and S.R. 250.
Today (Oct. 3), S.R. 39 will close just under two miles south of S.R. 250 to allow crews to complete a box culvert replacement at an unnamed tributary to Pond Creek. State Road 39 is expected to reopen in mid-November. The official detour follows S.R. 250, U.S. 31, and S.R. 256.
The $1.5 million contract also includes work on the S.R. 39 bridge over Cammie-Thomas Ditch that reopened in July. INDOT reminds drivers to use extra caution, avoid distractions, and consider worker safety when traveling through active construction zones. All work is weather-dependent and schedules are subject to change.
