North Old State Road 37 north of the Liberty Church will be permanently closed on Wednesday morning. The intersection of Acuff and Prow roads is now open, with flagging operations Wednesday and Thursday to perform clean up work.
The following restrictions remain in place this week:

- At the 3rd Street Bridge (SR 48) there will be no changes to eastbound traffic. Work will continue on signal and light pole foundations. The right turn lane from westbound 3rd Street to northbound State Road 37 will be closed daily to allow for work on the northeast segment of the ramp system. The northwest ramp from southbound State Road 37 to 3rd Street will be restricted for drainage improvements and roadway widening.

- The right lane of northbound State Road 37 will be closed daily from Fox Hollow Road to Chambers Pike for outside shoulder improvements and drainage work.
- On Wednesday there will be intermittent night-time closures of northbound State Road 37 at Chambers Pike for bridge work. Law enforcement will assist with 20-minute closures between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m.
Motorists traveling between Indianapolis and Bloomington and wishing to avoid potential delays on State Road 37 are strongly encouraged to stay off of county roads and use the alternate routes of State Road 46 east to I-65 north and State Road 46 west to State Road 67 north.
As the volume of construction activity increases, motorists are urged to reduce their speed, pay attention to changing traffic conditions, and drive with no distractions. All construction activity is weather dependent and the schedule is subject to change.
