White County, IN – Drivers traveling along State Road 18 should expect intermittent flagging operations beginning today, Monday, Nov. 11, as the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) begins bridge maintenance work near Vanatta Ditch, just west of Brookston.
According to INDOT West Central, crews will be performing maintenance on the bridge spanning the ditch, requiring temporary lane restrictions and alternating traffic. Work will be carried out intermittently as weather allows, with flaggers directing motorists through the area.
The project area lies between County Road 1000 W and U.S. 231, a key east-west route connecting rural White County communities. INDOT advises drivers to reduce speed, stay alert for construction workers, and plan for potential short delays during active work periods.
Work is expected to be completed before Thanksgiving, weather permitting. No full closures are planned, but travel times may vary depending on traffic volume and weather conditions.
