An upcoming bridge project also means new sidewalks for Greensburg schools.

In partnership with Decatur County and the City of Greensburg, the Indiana Department of Transportation announces the closure of Central Avenue in Greensburg starting on or after Monday for a bridge replacement project over Gas Creek. 

The bridge is expected to remain closed for up to 120 days, through late November. Traffic will be routed along the official detour, which follows Stewart Street, State Road 46/Main Street and Lincoln Street.

The contract was awarded to Susesis Construction Company in March for $1.4 million and also includes replacing sidewalks between Greensburg Junior High School and Greensburg High School.
