Veedersburg, IN – A key stretch of State Road 32 near Veedersburg is set to close for maintenance, impacting drivers across Fountain County and prompting an official detour route.
According to INDOT West Central, the State Road 32 bridge over Prairie Creek will close on Wednesday, April 15, with work expected to begin on or after that date. Crews will conduct bridge maintenance in the area, requiring a full closure of the roadway near the creek crossing.
The closure is expected to disrupt regular traffic patterns for commuters traveling between Veedersburg and surrounding rural areas. State officials are urging drivers to plan ahead and allow extra travel time while the work is underway.
An official detour has been established to guide motorists safely around the closure. Drivers are advised to follow State Road 32 to State Road 63, then connect to Interstate 74, continue to U.S. 41, and return to State Road 32. INDOT officials say signage will be posted along the route to assist drivers.
Local residents and businesses in the Veedersburg area may experience increased traffic along alternate routes during the closure period. While no official reopening date has been announced, the project is part of ongoing infrastructure improvements aimed at maintaining roadway safety and reliability.
Motorists are encouraged to monitor INDOT updates for any changes to the construction schedule or detour routes. Officials also remind drivers to use caution in work zones and remain alert for crews and equipment.
Further details, including updates on progress and potential reopening timelines, are expected to be released as the project moves forward.
