Bridge work is planned along State Road 46 near Gnaw Bone

BROWN CO. — Indiana Department of Transportation contractor Dave O’Mara Contractors plans to conduct alternating lane closures along State Road 46 over Gnaw Bone Creek just west of Hoover Road beginning on or after Wednesday, April 10, to complete a bridge deck overlay project in Brown County.

The alternating lane closures will occur approximately 3.5 miles east of the S.R. 135 and S.R. 46 intersection and are expected to remain in place until late August, weather permitting. The planned lane closures will alternate between eastbound and westbound S.R. 46 while work progresses. Temporary traffic signals will be utilized to conduct the planned lane closures. Crews will begin to place signage in the area before construction. 

This project is part of a $1 million contract awarded to Dave O’Mara in August 2023. INDOT reminds drivers to slow down, be cautious, and avoid distractions when traveling near work zones. All work is weather-dependent, and schedules are subject to change.
