Shelby County has let contracts with two companies to do bridge deck overlays.
Work on Bridge 58 which is located on East Blue Ridge Road over Conns Creek just west of the town of Blue Ridge is scheduled to begin Aug. 26. It will last until reopening on Nov. 27.
East Blue Ridge Road will be marked as being closed to through traffic between S 600 E and S 800 E which is the Rush – Shelby County Line. There will not be marked detours for these closures, but traffic from the east can go south on S 800 E to State Rd 244, west on 244 to S 600 E and back north to East Blue Ridge Road during the closure. Traffic from the west can do the opposite, turning south on S 600 E to State Rd 244, east on 244 to S 800 E and back north to E Blue Ridge Rd (which is W 650 S in Rush
County).
The contractor working on this bridge is Duncan Robertson, Inc. of Franklin.
Meanwhile, work on Bridge 30 on East Union Road over Little Blue River in between the intersections of N 575 E north of Rays Crossing isn’t scheduled to begin until Oct. 7 and will last until reopening on Nov. 11.
East Union Road will only be closed between the two intersections of N 575 E. Traffic from the north on E 575 E will have to go east on East Union Road before going back south. Traffic from the south on E 575 E will have to go west on East Union Road before going back north using N 500 E.
The contractor working on this bridge is HIS Constructors, Inc. of Fairland.
The dates on both of these projects are subject to change in case of delays caused by either weather or material deliveries.
