State Road 46 Bridge Deck Overlay At Haw Creek In Columbus

Last updated on Friday, June 15, 2018

(COLUMBUS) -The Indiana Department of Transportation plans to restrict traffic on State Road 46/State Street at Columbus beginning Monday (JUNE 18) at its bridge over Haw Creek located 1.8 miles east of State Road 11 at Central Avenue.

Contracted crews will install a bridge deck overlay - first over outside lanes, then the inside lanes.

Eastbound and westbound left lanes of State Road 46 will be closed while R.A. Myers, INDOT's contractor for this $148,876 refurbishment project, places a 3/8-inch polymeric overlay across the 278-foot-long 4-span structure's driving surface.

INDOT officials anticipate switching traffic to outside lanes the week of June 25 - closing State Road 46 eastbound and westbound right lanes.

This tough "polycarb" overlay serves as a sealant against moisture intrusion while guarding against UV ray degradation. Flint chips mixed with the polymeric epoxy provide excellent surface friction for driver maneuverability and stopping capabilities.
