Kentland, IN – State Road 55 will close between C.R. 1300 S and C.R. 1400 S starting Monday, October 7. The closure is part of a bridge deck overlay maintenance project at Hunter Ditch, aimed at ensuring long-term road safety. Drivers can expect the closure to last until late October.
According to the Indiana Department of Transportation, the official detour will direct traffic to State Road 16, U.S. 24, and U.S. 41. Motorists are advised to plan alternate routes to avoid delays. State Road 55 will remain closed until the completion of the overlay project between C.R. 300 E and the Iroquois River bridge maintenance.
Local authorities urge drivers to follow posted detour signs and exercise caution near the work zones. The project will improve infrastructure and extend the lifespan of the bridge. Regular updates on the project’s progress will be provided by the Indiana Department of Transportation. Keep an eye out for changes as the road reopens in late October.
