Dave O’Mara Contractors is scheduled to close State Road 39 approximately two miles north of Tampico on or after April 9 to complete a bridge deck overlay.

The closure will take place just south of East County Road 400S and is expected to take up to 11 weeks, weather permitting. Crews will begin to place signage in the area prior to the start of construction. During the closure, motorists should use the official detour route which follows State Road 250 to Interstate 65 to State Road 256.

This project is part of a $4.5 million contract awarded to Dave O’Mara in January 2023. The contract includes a total of six bridge projects.

The Indiana Department of Transportation reminds drivers to slow down, use extra caution and avoid distractions when traveling near work zones. All work is weather-dependent and schedules are subject to change.
