Perry County, IN – Drivers in Perry County should prepare for a long-term road closure beginning next week as crews begin bridge rehabilitation work on State Road 145 near Bristow, according to the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT).
Starting on or around Tuesday, November 4, INDOT crews will close a section of State Road 145 over Maggity Branch, located just north of Bristow. The closure will go into effect following the reopening of another section of SR 145 over Theis Creek.
According to INDOT, the project will allow for critical bridge repairs and safety improvements along the route. Work is expected to continue through mid-February 2026, depending on weather conditions.
A detour will route traffic to State Road 62 and State Road 37, though local drivers will still have access up to the closure point. INDOT urges motorists to slow down, avoid distractions, and use extra caution when traveling near construction areas.
Motorists should expect delays in the area and plan alternative routes when possible.
