(Richmond, IN)--Southbound traffic on Chester Boulevard in Richmond was a hot mess Tuesday – just a couple of days into the Depot Overpass replacement project.  Tuesday afternoon, traffic had backed up from J Street to well north of Oak Drive.  Not only was the overpass closed, but part of North E under the overpass was closed, as was part of 12^th Street.  Some drivers Tuesday indicated that signage was placed too close to the closure, which made it difficult for semi drivers to maneuver around.  City leaders continue to say they’ll closely monitor traffic patterns with the overpass closed to identify and come up with solutions for problem areas.
