S.R. 46 bridge work planned in Ellettsville

Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) 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 nearby 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, INDOT explained, and a 10-foot width limit will be in effect while work is in progress. Work is expected to be completed in late November, weather permitting.

Additional bridge work will take place on westbound S.R. 46 in 2026. Further information and updates will be provided by INDOT at a later date.

Project Details

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.
