Here’s the hole story: the State Road 156 Grants Creek Bridge at North Landing has been closed because of a hole.

Indiana Department of Transportation Seymour District spokesperson Harry Maginity said Thursday afternoon that the bridge was closed shortly after 12:00 p.m. due to a hole developing in the bridge deck.

A similar situation forced the closure of the exact same bridge this past January. In that case, a steel plate was installed over a hole in the bridge.

The closure will be prolonged, with a reopening date currently undetermined, said Maginity. Detour signs will be in place by this evening, advising motorists to take the official INDOT detour of SR 250 to SR 56.
