(Ohio Co.) - Indiana Department of Transportation contractor Dave O'Mara Contractors is scheduled to close State Road 262 over a tributary to Mud Lick Creek on Monday, April 7, to complete a small structure replacement project in Ohio County.

The closure will take place between Downey Ridge Road and Stephenson Road approximately 5.4 miles south of U.S. 50 and is expected to be complete in early June, weather permitting.
