S.R. 46 To Close Over Little Laughery Creek In Batesville

Work will begin on or after Monday, June 1.

(Franklin County, Ind.) — The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) has announced a $2.2 million project that includes closing part of State Road 46 next week. 

Contractor Dave O’Mara Contractor Inc. will begin structure replacement on the bridge over Little Laughery Creek, just west of Batesville High School, on or after Monday, June 1. 

The official detour route will be I-74 from Batesville (Exit 149) to New Point (Exit 143).

This closure will last approximately 60 days, weather permitting. 

The bridge replacement is part of a contract that includes a second bridge located on S.R. 46 over East Fork Tanner’s Creek, west of S.R. 1 in Dearborn County. Construction on the Dearborn County bridge is planned to begin in 2021, which will involve bridge deck replacement and widening.

Motorists are reminded to slow down, use extra caution, and drive distraction-free through all work zones.

All work is weather dependent.
