CITY TO MONITOR TRAFFIC PATTERNS AFTER DEPOT OVERPASS CLOSURE

(Richmond, IN)--Shortly after the Depot District overpass closes next month, Richmond police and other officials will closely monitor traffic patterns and paying attention to how emergency vehicles are affected.  An INDOT project talked this week about one concern as it pertains to getting from one part of the city to another.  "A messier part will be north to west.  The only good roads for that are Waterfall and Sim Hodgin.  If I was trying to set things up, I'd probably try to coordinate to try to push things down Industries Road and NW 5th Street."  The closure of the overpass is set to begin in a couple of weeks and last at least a year and a half.
