Bridge Rehabilitation Scheduled for S.R. 168 near Fort Branch

GIBSON COUNTY, Ind. – The Indiana Department of Transportation announces lane restrictions for State Road 168 near Fort Branch for a bridge rehab project.

Beginning on or around Thursday, June 10, contractors will close one lane of the S.R. 168 bridge spanning Troops Creek, about a mile west of U.S. 41. Workers will be performing a bridge rehabilitation including demolition, patching and resurfacing.

During the project, restrictions will be in place around the clock and traffic will be controlled by temporary signal. The open lane will be restricted to 15-feet. Wider loads should seek an alternate route using the nearest numbered state, U.S. or Interstate routes. Work is expected to last until about mid-July depending upon weather conditions.

INDOT urges drivers to slow down and stay alert near crews.
