Montgomery County, IN – Drivers in Montgomery County can now travel smoothly along U.S. 136 after state transportation officials reopened the roadway near Nucor Road this week.
According to the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT), crews completed replacement work on the bridge’s superstructure over Walnut Fork and officially reopened the route earlier in the week. The project had temporarily closed a key stretch of U.S. 136, impacting local and through traffic in the area.
INDOT shared photos showing a freshly resurfaced roadway and new guardrails, marking the completion of the construction phase before the busy holiday travel season. Officials thanked drivers for their patience during the closure and reminded motorists to remain alert as normal traffic patterns resume.
The reopened section serves as an important connector for local commuters and freight movement in west-central Indiana, linking smaller communities with U.S. 231 and I-74 access points.
Motorists can monitor additional updates or future projects by following INDOT West Central’s official channels for Montgomery County.
