UPDATE: Closure planned on State Road 45 in Monroe County

MONROE CO. — Indiana Department of Transportation contractor Ragle, Inc. is scheduled to close State Road 45 over Indian Creek on or after Monday, June 24, to begin a bridge rehabilitation project in Monroe County. 

The closure will occur just east of South Darrell Drive and is expected to take up to ten 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 S.R. 445 to I-69 to S.R. 45.

This project is part of a $3.2 million contract awarded to Ragle, Inc. in July 2023. INDOT reminds drivers to slow down, be cautious, and avoid distractions when traveling in and near work zones. All work is weather-dependent, and schedules are subject to change.
