US 40 Culvert Construction Begins Next Week
East of Marion-Hancock County Line
INDOT contractors plan to close one lane of U.S. 40 in each direction next week to begin a culvert replacement construction project at
Breier Arm Ditch, which is 1.5 miles east of the Marion-Hancock County line between Hancock County Roads 600 and 700 West.
Crews will close the right lanes of eastbound and westbound U.S. 40 and repave the shoulders to prepare for upcoming traffic shifts. This lane closure is scheduled to continue for approximately two weeks. On or after April 4, one lane of traffic in each direction will be shifted to share the south side of the highway as replacement of the 7-foot by 7-foot concrete
box culvert is completed one-half at a time.
After the north half of the new culvert is
complete, traffic will be shifted to the north side of the road and work will
commence on the south half of the culvert.
The speed limit through the work zone will be reduced to 45 mph. Construction is expected to be complete and
traffic patterns returned to normal before July.
INDOT awarded a contract for the project to Morphey Construction of Indianapolis based on its low bid of $399,534. Morphey’s bid was the lowest of seven bids.
