State Road 56 Bridge Replacement To Begin In Switzerland Co.

Construction signs are going up in Switzerland County.

(Switzerland County, Ind.) – Construction signs have been placed in advance of a bridge replacement project in Switzerland County.

The Indiana Department of Transportation has contracted Milestone to complete the $3.6 million project at the Tucker Run structure on State Road 56, just six miles west of State Road 129.

The Tucker Run structure is scheduled to be cleared during the second week of September. Once cleared, temporary signals will be installed before actual construction.

Crews will replace one-half of the bridge at a time starting on or after October 1. Single-lane traffic flow will be controlled by temporary signals.

The new S.R. 56 Tucker Run bridge is scheduled to open to traffic in November 2019.

A second S.R. 56 bridge over Green Valley Creek will be removed and replaced after the first of the year.

According to INDOT, State Road 56’s traffic count is 2,257 vehicles per day.
