FRANKLIN COUNTY, Ind. – Indiana Department of Transportation contractor Morphey Construction, Inc. is scheduled to close U.S. 52 over Yellow Bank Creek on or after Friday, August 1, to complete a box culvert replacement project in Franklin County. The closure will take place on U.S. 52 just west of Yellow Bank Road located between Metamora and Brookville. U.S. 52 is expected to reopen in early October, weather permitting.
During the closure, motorists should use the official detour route which follows S.R. 121 to S.R. 44 to S.R. 101 back to U.S. 52.
This project is part of a $1.7 million contract awarded to Morphey Construction in December 2024. INDOT reminds drivers to slow down, use extra caution, and avoid distractions when traveling in and near work zones. All work is weather-dependent and schedules are subject to change.
