(Wayne County, IN)--An extended road closure is coming to a major roadway that passes through Wayne County.  At some point this spring, U.S. 35 will close at the bridge over the Whitewater River between Economy and State Road 1.  When it closes, it will remain shut down for six months.  INDOT announced Tuesday that it had awarded a contract for the bridge work to Beaty Construction.  The project is expected to extend the life of the bridge by 75 years.  A specific closure date will be set soon.
