Dearborn County, IN — Indiana Department of Transportation contractor Dave O’Mara Contractor Inc. plans to close the S.R. 46 bridge over East Fork Tanner’s Creek on or after Tuesday, April 6, to begin work on a deck replacement and widening project. The bridge is located 2.81 miles west of S.R. 1, near Trackville Road in Dearborn County, and will remain closed for up to 150 days, through early September.
The official detour for the closure will follow I-74 between S.R. 1 and S.R. 101. Trackville Road is expected to remain open during construction and local access will be maintained for residents and businesses in the area.
This work is part of a $2.3 million rehabilitation contract that also includes a bridge replacement on S.R. 46 over Laughery Creek near Batesville that was completed last year. The contract was awarded in January 2020 and is scheduled to be complete by October 31, 2021.
Motorists are reminded to slow down, use extra caution and drive distraction-free in and near work zones. All work is weather-dependent and schedules are subject to change.
