Fowler, IN – Drivers using State Road 71 in Benton County should prepare for intermittent flagging beginning Tuesday, Nov. 11, as crews perform bridge maintenance over Finigan Ditch near Freeland Park.
According to the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT), traffic will be impacted periodically as workers conduct repairs on the bridge just north of County Road 100 W. The flagging will occur as needed and continue through mid-November, with completion expected before Thanksgiving, weather permitting.
INDOT officials advise motorists to allow extra travel time and remain alert for workers and signage in the area. Delays are expected to be brief, but traffic may slow in both directions when flagging is active.
This maintenance project is part of INDOT’s seasonal infrastructure program aimed at improving bridge safety and road conditions ahead of winter weather.
