UPDATE: North Smith Road closed in Bloomington

MONROE COUNTY, Ind.— The Indiana Department of Transportation plans to extend the duration of the North Smith Road closure at State Road 46 in Bloomington to complete additional utility relocation work. North Smith Road was previously scheduled to reopen as soon as early July.

Once utility relocation work is complete, construction will resume. Additional information, including an updated timeline, will be provided by INDOT at a later time. During the closure, motorists should use the official detour route which follows S.R. 46 WB to the E State Rd 46 Bypass to S.R. 45 to North Smith Road.

This contract was awarded to Milestone Contractors in May 2023. INDOT reminds drivers to slow down, use extra caution and avoid distractions when traveling near work zones. All work is weather-dependent and schedules are subject to change.
