VINCENNES, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV)—The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) has announced alternating lane closures in Knox County.
Beginning on or around May 1, drivers near Vincennes can expect crews to begin these closures over Fort Knox Drive. INDOT has stated that this will allow them to replace the bridge deck on the eastbound bridge of U.S. Highway 50. However, this will only allow for one lane to be open in both directions. Eastbound traffic will be using a crossover to use the westbound lanes. Fort Knox Drive will be closed between Old Terre Haute Road and Fort Knox Drive.
These lane closures are a result of the start of phase 2 of the bridge construction project taking place on U.S. Highway 50 that involves replacing both the east and westbound bridge decks. This is a continuation of the three part plan that began on March 19.
