JACKSON CO. — Indiana Department of Transportation contractor Dave O’Mara Contractors is scheduled to close State Road 39, approximately two miles north of Tampico, on or after Tuesday, April 9, to complete a bridge deck overlay in Jackson County.
The closure will occur just south of East County Road 400 South and is expected to take up to 11 weeks, weather permitting. Crews will begin placing signage in the area prior to the start of construction. During the closure, motorists should use the official detour route, which follows State Road 250 to I-65 to State Road 256.
This project is part of a $4.5 million contract awarded to Dave O’Mara in January 2023. The contract includes six bridge projects. INDOT reminds drivers to slow down, use extra caution, and avoid distractions when traveling near work zones. All work is weather-dependent, and schedules are subject to change.
