State Road 58 bridge to close Monday

State Road 58 in Bartholomew County will close on or after Monday, weather permitting, for approximately 30 days over South Fork White Creek, south of Waymansville, for scour protection work.

The bridge is located approximately 9.5 miles west of I-65, between County Roads 1100S and 950S.

The official detour for the closure is State Road 135 to U.S. 50 to State Road 11 to I-65.

The project was awarded to Linkel Co. in February for $360,000 and is part of a larger bridge contract involving multiple bridges on I-65, U.S. 31 and State Road 58.

Scour protection treatments help maintain the structural integrity of bridges and eliminates risks associated with erosion at or near bridge structures.
