The Indiana Department of Transportation’s work to repair, refurbish and replace bridge locations on State Road 135 and State Road 58 in Brown and Jackson Counties continues. State officials want you to be aware of highway closings and re-openings.

On Thursday, July 13th, State Road 135 will reopen 7.6 miles north of State Road 58, just east of Christianburg Road in Brown County. INDOT says that an arch culvert carrying a branch of Hamilton Creek has been replaced.

INDOT says this will allow crews to make repairs and overlay the bridge deck at State Road 135’s three-span structure over Hamilton Creek, just west of Christianburg Road in Brown County. That will result in a 60-day closure to begin on or after July 18. The bridge is located about 9.5 miles north of State Road 58.

State Road 58 at a bridge site three miles west of State Road 135 in Jackson County is closed until mid-October. The single-span structure over Bee Creek is being removed and replaced.

State Road 135 is closed near Railroad Road in Brown County while crews refurbish bridges at Little Beanblossom Creek, located 1.7 miles north of State Road 45, and at a branch of Moser Creek, about 1.5 miles north State Road 45. INDOT officials say that this closure is expected to be lifted in about 30 days.

Once this section of State Road 135 reopens, INDOT says that the north-south highway will close for 45 days for repairs and deck replacement at a single-span arch bridge over Bear Creek, located about 1.25 miles south of State Road 252 at Morgantown.

INDOT says that these projects are part of a $3.5 million investment in bridge infrastructure improvements in Brown, Jackson and Morgan counties.
