(Richmond, IN)--There was more discussion at Thursday night’s Richmond Board of Public Works meeting about the upcoming closure of two bridges on Richmond Avenue – which includes the large span over the Whitewater Gorge – and another one on Bridge Avenue that will close all those crossings for six months.   Aaron Stevens with the Richmond Police Department said those closures are a long time coming.  "These projects actually were bid upon and approved in 2019.  This was a long, drawn-out process and it just happens to be that these are scheduled and were previously scheduled to begin on March 2 and end on August 28," Stevens explained.  The Board Thursday night also approved a one-day closure of the eastern half of Sim Hodgin Parkway.
