INDOT contractor to begin work on State Road 46 bridge

Indiana Department of Transportation contractor Dave O’Mara will begin preventative maintenance work on the State Road 46 bridge over Otter Creek in Bartholomew County beginning Wednesday, weather permitting. Crews will apply a latex overlay to extend the life of the current bridge deck.

A one-mile section of State Road 46, from Base Road to County Road 100N, east of Columbus, will be closed for approximately 90 days while the contractor completes the project.

The official state detour for the closure is State Road 46 to State Road 3 to U.S. 50 to State Road 7, back to State Road 46.
