We had been warned it was coming, and now we know when – the Brooks School Road bridge over I-69, just south of 136th Street, will be closed for maintenance beginning May 30th.  Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) officials say crews will rebuild the bridge deck. During the closure, traffic will be detoured to Promise Road via 126th and 136th streets.  The bridge is scheduled to reopen in August, in time for the start of school.

In another local INDOT update, construction workers reopened the I-69 Exit 210 ramp early Wednesday morning after transforming the interchange into a double-crossover diamond traffic pattern.  However, construction on that interchange will continue.  When work began, INDOT said construction would be complete by July 4th.  Now, INDOT is saying road work there will end “later this summer.”  To view the video on how a double-crossover diamond interchange works, use this link.
