Greensburg, IN— Dave O’Mara Contractor Inc. will close all lanes of I-74 EB between U.S. 421 in Greensburg (Exit 132) and New Point (Exit 143) beginning at 8 p.m. tonight to complete full-depth shoulder patching near the Sand Creek Bridge. The road will remain closed for approximately eight hours and will reopen by 5 a.m. on Wednesday, weather permitting. The S.R. 3 exit ramp to I-74 EB at Greensburg (Exit 134) will also close Tuesday night while work is in progress.
This section of I-74 is currently reduced to one lane due to an asphalt resurfacing project that began last month and is expected to be complete this fall. The official detour for the closure will follow U.S. 421 SB (Exit 132) to S.R. 46 EB to C.R. 850 E. at New Point (Exit 143), where motorists may re-enter I-74. Message boards will be in place along the interstate to notify drivers of the closure.
Motorists should slow down, use extra caution, and drive distraction-free through all work zones. All work is weather dependent.
