INDOT is replacing the Ditch Road bridge over Interstate 465. The bridge service life is up and a new bridge is required.
Construction is scheduled to start Monday, March 4. The bridge is scheduled to be completely closed from March 4 to Sept. 30.
Crews will be replacing the bridge and adding sidewalks on either side.
While the bridge is closed, drivers can use the posted detour. They can take Ditch Road to 86th Street, turn left on Spring Mill Road, then turn left on 96th Street.
Crews will also be working on I-465 in the area. No major closures are expected at this time.
INDOT wants to remind drivers to slow down and give crews room to work in construction areas.
