MORGAN COUNTY – Construction crews are applying the finishing touches in Morgan County and making progress in completing two new bridges over the future I-69.

The new Teeters Road overpass and Morgan Street extension are expected to open by the end of July. Crews are currently building a new connection between the old and new sections of Morgan Street. Removing temporary structures from the Teeters Road bridge will also reduce northbound State Road 37 to one lane north of State Road 44.

The concrete deck was poured two weeks ago for the new Myra Lane bridge. Watch a short video about the bridge and the installation of steel bridge beams. It’s expected to open by late August, connecting Martinsville First United Church and Ozark Fisheries with the new Morgan Street west of the highway.

Along the new I-69 in Martinsville, expect periodic lane closures and restrictions near the exits for permanent striping and stone shoulder work. Nighttime surface paving near the State Road 252 exit may begin as early as next week.
