Sherman Minton Bridge Undergoing Repairs

In case you haven't been on the Sherman Minton bridge this week, be aware you could be facing some delays.

The Indiana Department of Transportation has announced that bridge maintenance will require a continuous closure for one of the three I-64 eastbound lanes. The lane closure is expected to impact rush hour traffic for several months on the lower deck of the bridge, but not the upper deck that carries I-64 westbound traffic across the Ohio River.


Most work will take place underneath the driving surface of the bridge over the Ohio River. A continuous work zone speed limit of 45 miles per hour will also be in effect for the safety of motorists and contractors. Commuters should expect delays and consider following I-265 to I-65 as an alternate route.
