On Thursday, July 18, traffic will be switched onto the south half of the 36/37 bridge over 71, with the north half of the bridge closed. Eastbound traffic will remain reduced to 1 lane, and westbound traffic reduced to 2 lanes.

This traffic pattern will remain in place through Summer 2024 as part of widening the route and reconstructing the railroad bridge over US 36/SR 37.
- Access to driveways and property will be maintained, however left turns will be restricted for driveways as well as Bowtown Road traffic during peak travel times (7 AM – 9 AM, 4 PM – 6 PM). Left turns at SR 521 will be maintained throughout the phase.
To help ensure the safety of the construction workers as well as the traveling public, motorists should remain alert, reduce their speed, and watch for stopped traffic while passing through the work zone. Remember, move over or slow down.
