State Road 46 closing briefly for repair work on bridge in Clay County

CLAY COUNTY, Ind. - The Indiana Department of Transportation announces the State Road 46 bridge over the Eel River will close from Wednesday, May 4 to Friday, May 6 for repair work. This bridge is located approximately 0.5 miles west of Bowling Green. INDOT maintenance crews will repair and level the reinforced concrete bridge approach slabs on both ends of the bridge and install a temporary asphalt wedge. This is due to settlement issues after the new bridge was built in 2019.

The official detour follows S.R. 46 to S.R. 59 to S.R. 246 to S.R. 46. Two to three weeks after the repairs are completed, crews will be out again to place a permanent asphalt wedge on the bridge. This will not require a closure. Flaggers will be on site during this second operation to direct traffic.

INDOT reminds motorists to follow the posted work zone speed limit, use caution and consider worker safety when traveling through a construction zone.
