The Indiana Department of Transportation will begin a series of 20-minute closures of State Road 11 on the north side of Garden City as work continues to create an overpass over the Louisville & Indiana railroad tracks on Columbus’ west side.
During the last four days of April, motorists should expect a series of 20-minute closures along State Road 11, said Dave Hayward, Columbus executive director of public works and city engineer.
The series of closures, from April 27 through April 30, are necessary to install bridge beams for the new overpass, Hayward said.
“Crews cannot set up beams while traffic is moving underneath,” said Hayward, who also reported that work on the overpass is progressing faster than expected.
The contractor plans to move beams into place while intermittently allowing backed-up traffic to move through, he said.
