Engineers Re-Close I-65 North Bridge near Lafayette
TIPPECANOE COUNTY, Ind. – Structural engineers
monitoring the I-65 northbound bridge over Wildcat Creek since it reopened on
Wednesday noticed movement in the same vertical riverbank pier and ordered the
bridge closed. Engineers continue to assess, and more information about repairs
and an estimated reopening time are not immediately available.
Detour
I-65 northbound merges to one lane
and is diverted onto U.S. 52 at Exit 141 north of Lebanon. Follow U.S. 52 north
for nearly 17 miles, then turn left at State Road 28. Follow S.R. 28 west for
about 10 miles, then turn right onto U.S. 231. Follow U.S. 231 north for about
33 miles until it intersects I-65 again in White County.
INDOT and law enforcement staff are helping to direct traffic where S.R. 28
turns north onto U.S. 231 at Romney. In addition, INDOT traffic engineers are monitoring traffic flow at U.S. 231 signals and adjusting timing patterns.
There are several ways that drivers
can stay updated on the closure:
