PUTNAMVILLE —  The Indiana Department of Transportation has announced ongoing restrictions on U.S. 40, between State Road 243 and S. County Road 25 E. for a bridge work near Putnamville. U.S. 40 will be down to two lanes. Traffic will be maintained by a temporary barrier wall. These restrictions will last through early September, weather permitting.

This contract was awarded to Milestone Contractors, LP for over $7.9 million.

There will be future restrictions connected to this project. INDOT will provide updates prior to any closures or restrictions. The entire project is expected to be completed in November 2024, weather permitting.
