The Indiana Department of Transportation has announced that the State Road 331 (Capital Avenue) bridge over the St. Joseph River will close on Friday, May 31, while crews remove beams from the northbound side of the bridge.

The work is part of a two-year bridge reconstruction project.

The road will reopen to traffic one lane in each direction over the southbound side of the bridge once beam removal is complete, which is expected to happen by end of the day Tuesday, June 4.

Northbound drivers on Capital Avenue will be detoured east on SR 933 (Lincolnway E.), north on Bittersweet Road and west on McKinley back to Capital Ave.

Southbound drivers on Capital Avenue will be detoured east on McKinley, south on Bittersweet Road and west on SR 933 (Lincolnway E.) back to Capital Avenue.
