HOPE/SHELBYVILLE, Ind. – About a half-mile section of State Road 9, between Hope and Shelbyville, will close for up to 18 days starting this Monday, April 18, between Shelby County Roads 750S and 800S for a structure replacement project in Shelby County.
The Indiana Department of Transportation says the structure is approximately five miles north of the Bartholomew/Shelby County line at Amos Ditch.
State Road 9 is anticipated to reopen by mid-May. The official detour will follow State Road 46 and I-74. This work was originally scheduled to begin in late March.
Drivers should slow down, avoid distractions, and use caution near construction zones. Work is weather-dependent, and schedules are subject to change.
