EVANSVILLE — Starting "on or around" Monday, in the Indiana Department of Transportation's parlance, crews will begin several months of alternating lane closures on the Boonville-New Harmony Road bridge over Interstate 69 in Vanderburgh County.

One of the bridge's two lanes will be open at all times, INDOT said.

"This lane closure will allow crews to perform bridge maintenance. A bridge deck overlay project will also be done during these lane closures," stated an announcement from INDOT.

INDOT expects the work will go on through early September, weather permitting. Crews will deploy a temporary traffic signal to control traffic.

"INDOT urges drivers to slow down and stay alert near crews," the state agency said.

Motorists in Southwestern Indiana can monitor road closures, road conditions and traffic alerts any time via:
