ELWOOD — The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) will officially break ground for a 12.6-mile section of Indiana 37 between Indiana 28 and Indiana 26 in Madison and Grant counties.
A small shoveling ceremony for the Major Moves project will be staged Monday, May 12, at 1:30 p.m. at the intersection of Indiana 37 and Indiana 28. Coincidentally, a 90-day closure for road and bridge work also begins on Monday.
INDOT advises motorists traveling northbound on Indiana 37 to detour on Indiana 28 east to Indiana 9; take Indiana 9 north to Indiana 26; and return westbound on Indiana 28 to Indiana 37. Southbound travelers should reverse the detour route.
Brooks Construction crews will begin by replacing drainage structures and refurbishing the bridge over Big Duck Creek. Then, Indiana 37 between Indiana 28 and Indiana 27 will be milled and built up with three lifts of HMA asphalt. Beyond the 12-foot lanes, paved shoulders will widen to 8 feet.
This $12.4 million project is part of the Major Moves highway program. When complete in 2015, nearly $12 billion in critical highway projects will have been built, according to INDOT.

But a small group of patrons wait until after hours, lock themselves in the back room of the Alexandria-Monroe Public Library, eat popcorn, drink soda and loudly scoff as they watch bad movies.
