(Dearborn County, Ind.) - Crews have successfully removed the aged bridge deck on two of the five truss bridge spans on the State Road 46 bridge over the Whitewater River.

The project started in early June and is expected to be completed by late November. Additional rehabilitation work will take place on S.R. 46 over Whitewater River in spring 2026. INDOT will provide additional information and updates as work progresses.
