DEPOT OVERPASS TO CLOSE IN AS SOON AS TWO WEEKS; MEETING SET FOR MONDAY NIGHT

(Richmond, IN)--The closure of the U.S. 27 bridge over the Depot District in Richmond is getting closer, and there’s a public meeting Monday night to provide more details and answer questions.  It begins at 5:30 Monday afternoon at the New Boswell Event Center.  The overpass is now expected to close to traffic as soon as two weeks from Monday.  Once that happens, it will be the fall of next year before traffic passes over the new bridge.  And, construction won’t be totally complete until the summer of ’25.  Fort Wayne Avenue under the overpass will also be closing.
