GREENE COUNTY, Ind. – The Indiana Department of Transportation announces an emergency road closure on State Road 54 east of Ridgeport.

Beginning immediately, State Road 54 will be closed just east of Ridgeport. This closure is to repair a pipe. A concrete pipe has begun to fail and a void has been discovered under a portion of the road. Work on the pipe is expected to last through the week, depending on the weather.
