(Southeastern IN) – There are several road-related items affecting area drivers.

U.S. 50 between Gaslight Drive and High Street in Versailles has reopened following a pipe replacement project (pictured). INDOT says drivers can expect flagging operations in the area while crews complete additional work.

South Pocket Road in the Batesville area was set to close this week while the Franklin County Highway Department installs small aluminum box structures. Meanwhile, West Pocket Road off Huntersville is slated to close for a small bridge replacement. It’s not been determined when that closure will take place.

Bridge #15 off Bells Branch Road between the Dearborn/Ohio County line will be closed Thursday, October 26 from 8 am to 5 pm for bridge repair and sealing. The Dearborn County Highway Department says there will be no thru traffic that day during the work.
