Work on a $2.2 million bridge project in Jackson County has been scheduled. The Indiana Department of Transportation conducted a pre-construction conference this week to discuss operational schedules for a bridge rehabilitation and small structure replacement project that will impact area traffic at four locations in Jackson County that will last through this construction season.

INDOT says that bridges on State Road 135 and S.R. 235 will each receive new bridge deck overlays, expansion joints and approach slabs after necessary repairs have been made.

• S.R. 135 3-span 132-foot-long bridge over Hough Creek at Brownstown, 0.96 miles south of U.S. Highway 50. Single-lane traffic will be controlled by temporary signals while work takes place on one-half of the structure at a time. Operations are scheduled June 18 through mid-October.

• S.R. 235 5-span 524-foot-long bridge over East Fork of White River located east of Medora, 2.43 miles north of S.R. 135. A 60-day closure is scheduled to begin August 8. Motorists may detour via S.R. 135 and U.S. 50.

Small structures on State Road 235 and S.R. 250 will be replaced.

• S.R. 235 small structure at a tributary of White River located north of Medora, 5.8 miles north of S.R. 135. This structure will be replaced by a 16- X 8-foot precast concrete box culvert measuring 70 feet in width. Work is scheduled to begin July 5. Motorists will encounter temporary signals controlling single-lane one-direction-at-a-time access during 45 days of construction activity.

• S.R. 250 small structure at Hough Creek at Brownstown. This structure will be replaced by a 16- X 5-foot reinforced box culvert measuring 26-feet in width.

INDOT says that work is tentatively scheduled to begin August 13. The contractor will begin placing construction signage on June 11 at the State Road 135 bridge site.
