State Road 46 patching to begin April 4

Indiana Department of Transportation contractor Dave O’Mara Contractor Inc. plans to begin work on or after Monday, April 4, to patch, mill and repave a section of State Road 46 in Bartholomew County. Work is planned between State Road 7 and just east of State Road 9. Resurface work will take place under single-lane closures with flagging.

The $3.7 million contract also includes a pipe replacement between U.S. 31 and County Road 450E.

State Road 46 is expected to close for up to seven days in early May while crews replace the pipe. Traffic will be detoured along U.S. 31, State Road 7, U.S. 50 and State Road 3 during the closure. Access will be maintained for local residents.

The contract was awarded to Dave O’Mara last fall and is expected to be complete by the end of October.
