Bridge overlay scheduled for SR 159 bridge near Pleasantville

SULLIVAN COUNTY, Ind. – The Indiana Department of Transportation announces a complete road closure for State Road 159 near Pleasantville for a bridge overlay project.

Beginning on or around Thursday, May 27, contractors will close S.R. 159 from East County Road 700 South to East C.R. 650 S to resurface the bridge spanning Spencer Creek. This is part of regular scheduled maintenance for the structure.

During the project, the bridge will be closed to through traffic around the clock. Local traffic will have access up to the point of closure, but all others should use the official detour following S.R. 59 and S.R. 54.

The project is scheduled to last for about a week, depending upon weather conditions. INDOT urges drivers to slow down and stay alert near crews.
