The town of Hope will have traffic delays to the north and to the south as work begins next month on two bridges on State Road 9.

INDOT contractors will be working north of the town on the State Road 9 bridge at Little Haw Creek, installing a new bridge deck and improving the approach to the bridge. They will also be working south of the town on the State Road 9 bridge at Clifty Creek, replacing the bridge deck and rails, as well as repairing the bridge substructure.

Traffic will be allowed in one direction at a time on both bridges after the work starts on April 10th. This is part of a $1.5 million dollar bridge repair project.
