Indiana Department of Transportation contractor Phend & Brown Ind. will have traffic delays on U.S. 31 to set beams for the southbound bridge over Elkhart Western Railroad between 13th Rd and 14th Rd.
Traffic delays are expected Wednesday, October 9 through Friday, October 18 for staging (crane and beam delivery, crane removal, etc), as well as the actual beam setting. Traffic will be stopped for up to 30 minutes at a time while the six bridge beams are set Tuesday, October 15.
Motorists are encouraged to seek alternate routes or expect traffic delays. The schedule is weather dependent and subject to change. INDOT encourages motorists to slow down, exercise caution and drive distraction-free through all work zones.
In addition to this road work, due to well testing at the water plant in Culver, Davis Street between Main and South Ohio in Culver will be closed through the end of the week.
