Demolition work will begin soon on the Indiana 9 bridge across White River in Anderson as crews from the Schutt-Lookabill Company of Indianapolis remove and replace piers under the southbound lanes of the structure. Lane restriction signage is being positioned at the work site Tuesday to advise of lane closures on or after April 14.
During the first phase of repair and rehabilitation, the west half of piers 2 and 7 will be completely rebuilt and a new bridge deck overlay put in place for southbound lanes. Lanes on the west side of the bridge will be closed with single-lane two-way traffic routed onto the east half of the bridge. Later, pier caps on the east half will be replaced and a bridge deck overlay installed for northbound lanes. At that time, traffic will be routed to lanes on the west half of the bridge. The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) does not anticipate a detour around the construction area.
This 438-foot White River bridge on Scatterfield Road/Indiana 9 is supported by six piers and two end bends. Traffic count nears 35,000 vehicles a day. The $1.6 million project is expected to be completed in October.
