(Versailles, Ind.) - A portion of U.S. 421 will close starting next week near Versailles. 

The Indiana Department of Transportation announced today that work will begin on the U.S. 421 bridge over Cedar Creek on or after Monday, August 14. 

The work will require the closure of U.S. 421 for approximately two weeks just north of U.S. 50 as crews perform a bridge deck overlay. The bridge is located between U.S. 50 and Baseline Road, and is expected to reopen by the end of August. 

Motorists will be routed along the official detour, which follows State Road 350, State Road 129 and U.S. 50. 

INDOT reminds motorists to consider worker safety by slowing down, using caution and driving distraction-free in and near construction zones. All work is weather-dependent and schedules are subject to change.
