Shelby County road projects to close highways

INDOT says that road projects in Shelby County will close two major state highways, one for a few weeks and one through October.

Starting yesterday, U.S. 52 is closing over Brandywine Creek in Shelby County for a bridge replacement project. The bridge is located just east of State Road 9 near Fountaintown.

U.S. 52 will be open to local traffic only, west of State Road 3 in Rushville. The official detour will follow State Road 9, U.S. 40 and State Road 3.

State Road 52 is expected to reopen in mid-October, weather permitting.

On Monday, May 12th, State Road 9 will close between Shelby County Road 850N and 750N for a structure replacement project in Shelby County. The structure is located approximately 6.8 miles north of I-74 in Shelbyville

The official detour will follow I-74, I-465, and U.S. 52.

State Road 9 is anticipated to reopen in early June.

The work schedules are dependent on the weather.

INDOT reminds you to slow down, to drive without distractions and to use extra caution in all work zones.
