How about a Monday afternoon project update? 🙌
📍 S.R. 46 over Whitewater River - Dearborn Co.
🔄 UPDATE: Crews have successfully removed the aged bridge deck on two of the five truss bridge spans and will soon begin rehabilitating steel members of the bridge (includes repairs, sandblasting and painting), constructing the new bridge deck surface, as well as complete joint replacement work.

Four of the five spans are over flood plains.
The five spans do make an impressive barrel view.

It sounds like they plan on saving the trusses by rehabilitating them.

The I-70 bridge is nearby. More of the $10.6m project will be done in 2026. |

The rehabilitation of the Braysville Bridge in Dearborn County, #Indiana, is focused on repairing and replacing deteriorated truss and floor system components, improving the deck and drainage, stabilizing foundations, and extending the bridge’s structural capacity, all at a lower cost than full replacement.
Targeted maintenance of historic bridges like this preserves critical infrastructure, reduces long-term expenses, and maximizes the return on public investment. By extending the bridge’s service life by roughly 40 years, the project ensures the structure can remain in use until it approaches 128 years of age, a practical and responsible use of taxpayer dollars by #INDOT.
Jon Hartman: This bridge is far too narrow for modern use and should have been replaced.
