DEPOT OVERPASS CONSTRUCTION, CLOSURE TO BEGIN NEXT MONTH

(Richmond, IN)--Construction on the new U.S. 27 overpass over Richmond’s Depot District is now only about a month away.  According to Josh Imhoff, who is the city’s Community Development Coordinator, construction will involve demolishing the current bridge from the south to the north.  Cranes will appear and be used to move pieces of the bridge away.  U.S. 27 will be closed from North D to North H Street.  Portions of North F Street an Fort Wayne Avenue that travel under the bridge will be closed.  The unofficial detour will take traffic over the 12th Street railroad crossing.  A final meeting to explain more details of the project to the public is pending.
