Indiana Department of Transportation contractor Milestone Contractors LP has postponed the State Road 58 bridge closure over Branch Runt Run in Jackson County due to materials delays.

The project had been scheduled to start Monday for a bridge replacement project. A new closure date will be announced. The contractor currently anticipates starting work in mid- to late September.

The bridge is located just more than 2 miles east of State Road 258, approximately 13 miles west of Columbus.

Three additional projects are included on the $2.7 million contract:

-Small structure replacement, 1.95 miles west of Interstate 65 in Bartholomew County (scheduled later this year, start date will be announced)

-Superstructure replacement project in Jackson County, 0.84 miles east of State Road 258 at Runt Run (scheduled in 2023)

-Superstructure replacement project in Jackson County, 1.89 miles east of State Road 258 at Branch Runt Run (scheduled in 2023)

The contract was awarded to Milestone in June.
