Traffic shift, ramp closures begin Tuesday on S.R. 45/46 at I-69 in Bloomington

BLOOMINGTON, Ind.— Milestone Contractors will close both lanes of WB S.R. 45/46 near I-69 in Bloomington on or after Tuesday, June 4, weather permitting, to begin the next phase of a $5 million pavement replacement project.

Westbound traffic will be shifted to EB S.R. 45/46, with one lane for each direction.

Exit ramps to and from I-69 on the north side of S.R. 45/46, in addition to the WB S.R. 46 ramp to SB I-69 will be closed to traffic during this phase. Detour routes for S.R. 45/46 to I-69 are as follows:

To I-69 NB: I-69 SB to exit 118 (S.R. 48/Third Street) to I-69 NB or I-69 SB to exit 117 (S.R. 45/Bloomfield Road/Second Street) to I-69 NB

To I-69 SB: S.R. 46 WB to Curry Pike intersection to S.R. 46 EB (U-turn) to I-69 SB

Detour signage will be placed along the routes.

The traffic shift and ramp closures will be in effect for approximately 75 days.

Following completion of work in westbound lanes, all S.R. 45/46 traffic will be shifted to the newly constructed westbound lanes, with one lane for each direction. Ramps to and from I-69 on the south side of S.R. 45/46 will also be closed.

INDOT is working with Indiana University throughout the project to coordinate lane and ramp closures during upcoming high-traffic events.

The project is expected to be complete by November 15, 2019.
