The Indiana Department of Transportation contractor Morphey Construction is moving scheduled lane closures on State Road 9 near Shelbyville to December 5. 

The contractor has shifted the start back one day next week, to Tuesday. This closure with detour, will run through December7, weather permitting.

The project is to cap the tile with concrete across SR 9. If Morphey does not have a successful concrete cure at the end of their 72-hour closure they will place pinned down steel plates over the SR 9 concrete and open the road. The plates will only stay in-place until they get a satisfactory cure test.

The official detour for this project is State Road 9 to I-74 to State Road 44 to U.S. 52.
