Monrovia, Indiana – A key Hendricks County roadway will close Monday, disrupting traffic near Interstate 70 for months.
According to INDOT West Central, County Road 1000 South—located just east of State Road 39 near the I-70 interchange—will close on or after Monday, April 13 for a bridge replacement project over Branch McCracken Creek.
Officials said the closure is expected to last through September, weather permitting, as crews replace the existing structure. The work will fully shut down through traffic along that հատված of C.R. 1000 S, a commonly used east-west route in the Monrovia area.
INDOT has established an official detour directing drivers north on State Road 39 to Keller Hill Road, then east to Gasburg Road, reconnecting with County Road 1000 South. Motorists traveling near the I-70 interchange should expect increased travel times and adjust routes accordingly.
The project area sits just south of Interstate 70, a heavily traveled corridor, meaning local drivers and commuters may see ripple effects on surrounding roads during peak hours.
No exact reopening date has been announced beyond the projected September completion window. INDOT noted timelines could shift depending on weather conditions and construction progress.
The closure may impact daily commutes for students and workers traveling between Monrovia and surrounding communities. Drivers are encouraged to follow posted detours and use caution in work zones.
