Closure planned on State Road 135 in Brown County

BROWN COUNTY— Indiana Department of Transportation contractor E&B Paving, Inc. is scheduled to close State Road 135 between Bellsville Pike and Reed Hollow Road on or after Monday, April 15, to complete a small structure replacement project in southern Brown County.

The closure is located approximately five miles south of S.R. 46 near Stonehand and is expected to take up to 20 days, weather permitting. Crews will begin placing signage in the area prior to the start of construction. During the closure, motorists should use the official detour route, which follows S.R. 58 to I-65 to S.R. 46.

This project is part of a $3.7 million contract awarded to E&B Paving in September 2022. The contract includes a total of five projects. INDOT reminds drivers to slow down, use extra caution and avoid distractions when traveling near work zones. All work is weather-dependent and schedules are subject to change.
