RIPLEY COUNTY, IN — Indiana Department of Transportation contractor Dave O’Mara Contractor Inc. plans to close State Road 46 for one weekend starting on or after Friday, July 15, to complete a box culvert replacement project in Ripley County.
The closure is expected to begin at 8 pm Friday and end by 6 am on Monday, July 18.
The structure is located approximately 2.5 miles east of State Road 229, between Fisherman Road and County Road 450 East near Morris.
Traffic will be routed along State Road 229, I-74, and State Road 101 during the closure.
The $1 million contract was awarded to Dave O’Mara in September 2021 and includes two additional projects on State Road 46, both located in Decatur County; a small structure replacement planned for later this year and a deck replacement on the State Road 46 bridge over Sand Creek planned for next year.
INDOT reminds drivers to slow down, use caution and remain vigilant of workers and equipment in active construction zones.
All work is weather-dependent and schedules are subject to change.
