Indiana Department of Transportation

Motorists encouraged to be alert to this change

The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) announces State Road 46 (S.R. 46) traffic will shift onto new pavement from Moyer Road Bridge to just south of I-70 eastbound ramps on or after Wednesday, March 9 during the evening hours, weather permitting.  This will allow the contractor to begin drainage structure placement under the southbound lanes of State Road 641.

The S.R. 641 contract was awarded to Beaty Construction, Inc. from Boggstown for $46.8 million.  This is the last section of the bypass to be constructed and it runs from just south of Moyer Road to the I-70 interchange. The S.R. 641 project includes the construction of a new four-lane, full access control roadway connecting U.S. 41 southeast of Terre Haute to I-70 east of the city.  The entire bypass should be open to traffic by late this year.  The first section of the S.R. 641 bypass opened in October of 2010, it takes motorists from U.S. 41 to McDaniel Road.
