Closure planned on State Road 56 west of Salem

WASHINGTON COUNTY- Indiana Department of Transportation contractor E&B Paving, Inc., is scheduled to close State Road 56 over Goose Creek on or after Monday, June 23, to complete a bridge deck overlay project in Washington County.

The closure will occur between South Dog Trot Road and South Mill Creek Road, west of Salem.

Following this closure, S.R. 56 over Mill Creek, also located between South Dog Trot Road and South Mill Creek Road, will be closed. INDOT will provide additional information as work progresses.

Following both closures, weather permitting, S.R. 56 is expected to reopen in early August. During the closures, motorists should use the official detour, which follows S.R. 337 to S.R. 37 to S.R. 60.

This work is part of a $3 million contract awarded to E&B in September 2024. INDOT reminds drivers to slow down, be cautious, and avoid distractions when traveling in and near work zones. All work is weather-dependent, and schedules are subject to change.
