State Road 250/I-65 bridge work gets underway

You could see traffic tie-ups on State Road 250 and Interstate 65 in Jackson County, as crews paint a bridge there.

According to the Indiana Department of Transportation, the work is expected to start on the state Road 250 bridge over Interstate 65 on Monday. That is just east of U.S. 31 in Uniontown.

If you are in the area, you can expect temporary traffic signals while the work is in progress and will be reducing the state highway to one lane. Nightly single lane closures will be used on I-65 at Exit 41 while work is in progress.

The work is expected to be finished by mid September. The work schedule is dependent on the weather.

INDOT reminds you to slow down, to drive without distractions and to be extra alert to worker safety in all work zones.
