INDOT to close State Road 7 for bridge work

INDOT will be closing State Road 7 at North Vernon for almost three weeks, starting tomorrow, as crews replace a culvert.

The state reports that the culver is at Six Mile Creek, about a third of a mile north of the State Road 3 junction.

Motorists will be routed around the construction site to State Road 3 and the U.S. 50 bypass. State Road 7 will be closed for up to 20 days.

The state has already replaced the State Road 7 bridge at Turnover Creek, and several other structures as part of this $2.6 million dollar project. Eventually crews will be replacing two more culverts on State Road 3, in Decatur County
