Carroll County, Indiana – Old State Road 25 will close near Deer Creek beginning Monday, March 2, for a long-term bridge replacement project.
According to INDOT Northwest, Old State Road 25 will shut down between State Road 25 and U.S. 421/State Road 39/State Road 18 on or after Monday, March 2. The closure is expected to last through mid-October while crews replace the bridge spanning Deer Creek.
Officials said the official detour will direct traffic along State Road 25 and U.S. 421/State Road 39/18. Motorists traveling through the Delphi area should expect extended drive times and follow posted signage.
In addition to roadway impacts, the pedestrian trail at the north end of the bridge will also be detoured around the work zone during construction. INDOT advises trail users to exercise caution and carefully follow directional signs while navigating the area.
The multi-month closure will primarily affect local commuters, agricultural traffic, and residents who regularly travel between Delphi and surrounding rural areas. Students and young workers commuting through the corridor may need to adjust morning and evening travel plans.
Bridge replacement projects are typically scheduled during warmer months to allow for structural work, improved materials installation, and safer working conditions.
Drivers are encouraged to plan alternate routes in advance and monitor INDOT updates for any changes to the construction timeline.
