The Indiana Department of Transportation has announced plans to close a railroad crossing on eastbound State Road 46, about one-third of a mile east of State Road 11, on the west side of Columbus for repairs next weekend. INDOT officials say that drivers will be detoured around the crossing via I-65 North to U.S. 31 South. A State Road 11 / State Road 46 detour reroutes traffic east on County Road 450 South to U.S. 31 North.

INDOT says that Louisville & Indiana Railroad maintenance crews plan to begin work at 8 p.m. on the evening of Oct. 6th and wrap up the project by the evening on Oct. 8th.

Message boards are scheduled to be put in place Wednesday to alert drivers.
