U.S. 231 bridge near Loogootee down to one lane on April 1

The Indiana Department of Transportation announces lane restrictions for a bridge on U.S. 231 in near Loogootee beginning April 1.

Depending upon weather conditions contractors will restrict the U.S. 231 bridge spanning Little Boggs Creek. Workers will be performing a rehabilitation of the bridge including cleaning and pavement overlay. The bridge will be restricted to one lane during the duration of the project. Traffic will be controlled by temporary signals. Temporary barrier wall will be put in place as a safety measure for both the motoring public and contractor crews.

Work is expected to last until mid July depending upon weather conditions. During the restriction, loads over 11-feet wide will need to find an alternate route. Restrictions will be in place around the clock.
