SHELBYVILLE/HOPE, Ind. – The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) has announced that the State Road 9 project in southern Shelby County between Hope and Shelbyville has been postponed. It was scheduled to begin this week but will now start next month.
On or after Monday, April 21, State Road 9 will be shut down for up to 18 days, between County Roads 750S. and 800S for the structure replacement work. The structure is approximately five miles north of the Bartholomew/Shelby County line, between Hope and Shelbyville, at Amos Ditch.
The official INDOT detour during the project will follow State Road 44, I-65, and State Road 252. Residents will have access up to the point of closure.
Motorists should slow down, use caution, and avoid distractions when traveling in and near construction zones. All work is weather-dependent, and schedules are subject to change.
