MONROE CO. – Indiana Department of Transportation contractor E&B Paving, Inc., is scheduled to begin a bridge deck overlay project on State Road 46 over Jacks Defeat Creek on or after Monday, July 7, in Ellettsville.
Phase 1 of the project will take place on eastbound S.R. 46 between South Park Street and North Hartstrait Road. Eastbound S.R. 46 will be reduced to one lane, and a 10-foot width limit will be in effect while work is in progress. Weather permitting, work is expected to be complete in late November.
Additional bridge work will take place on westbound S.R. 46 in 2026. INDOT will provide further information and updates at a later date.
This project is part of a $4 million contract awarded to E&B in May 2025. INDOT reminds drivers to slow down, use extra caution, and avoid distractions when traveling in and near work zones. All work is weather-dependent, and schedules are subject to change.
