The closure was originally scheduled to begin December 19.

(Ohio County, Ind.) - Indiana Department of Transportation contractor 5 Star Company, Inc. plans to close State Road 56 between Hartford Pike and Old State Road 56 for a culvert replacement project.

The closure was previously scheduled to begin Friday, December 19, and has been postponed.

State Road 56 is now anticipated to close in January, weather permitting. Additional schedule information will be provided as it becomes available.
