The Indiana Department of Transportation met with contractor Friday afternoon to establish a timetable for making repairs to a damaged bridge beam on southbound Interstate 65, over U.S. Highway 50, at Seymour.

Harry Maginity, INDOT spokesman, says that Flame On Inc. plans to be onsite July 7th to heat-straighten the fascia girder under the westernmost side of the bridge. He say s that the contractor, based out of Washington state, specializes in beam repair and heat straightening. INDOT says that this work will require single lane closures on eastbound U.S. 50, along southbound I-65’s shoulder, as well as at the nearby ramp.

INDOT officials say this $179,092 project will continue during daytime hours for approximately one week.
