The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) is alerting drivers to lane closures on U.S. 31 at the bridge over Lincoln Highway, the Conrail Railroad Tracks and 10th Road, between 9A road and 11th Road in Marshall County, Wednesday, July 5 through the end of September. Crews will seal, restore and rehabilitate the concrete surface of the bridge as part of this restoration. This project is one of three bridges to be rehabilitated in St. Joseph, Marshall and Porter Counties. The projects are a $1.3 million dollar restoration investment that INDOT has awarded to JCI Bridge Group.
The other two bridges that are part of this contract are the State Road 933 bridge over Baugo Creek in Oceola and the State Road 149 bridge over Salt Creek in Porter County. The rehabilitation efforts for these bridges will begin in late August or early September.
During the project, U.S. 31 will be open to through traffic but restricted to one northbound and one southbound lane at the bridge. Drivers are urged to pay close attention to the signs in the work zone, obey the posted speed limit and be on the alert for workers and equipment.
Drivers can monitor road closures and traffic alerts at any time via the INDOT Northwest District social media channels: www.Facebook.com/INDOTNorthwest or Twitter @INDOTNorthwest. Or visit http://www.trafficwise.in.gov for INDOT’s TrafficWise Traveler Information Service.
