Drivers Urged to Use Caution, Obey Speed Limits Through Work Zone

Motorists traveling through the White River bridge construction zone should prepare for increased construction vehicle traffic beginning Monday, May 5, 2025, according to officials overseeing the ongoing infrastructure project.

Construction crews are continuing work on widening the eastbound bridge over the White River, part of a larger project that includes storm sewer installation, subgrade preparation, paving operations, and roundabout construction. Crews are also making progress on the construction of Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) walls and installing a barrier wall within the active construction zone.

As work intensifies, construction vehicles will be frequently entering and exiting the site. Drivers are urged to remain alert, watch for flaggers, and strictly adhere to the posted 35 mph speed limit to ensure safety for both workers and motorists.

In the coming weeks, the contractor also plans to begin seeding and sodding operations as part of the final landscaping efforts.

Officials remind the public that the project is on track for completion by August 1, 2025.

“Safety remains our top priority,” the project team emphasized. “We’re asking the community to help us by staying vigilant, slowing down, and exercising extreme caution when traveling through this area.”
