(Ohio County, Ind.) - Indiana Department of Transportation contractor Dave O'Mara Contractor, Inc. is scheduled to begin a small structure replacement project on State Road 56 over Buck Run just east of Rising Sun on or after Tuesday, April 1, in Ohio County.

Work will take place approximately 2.3 miles east of State Road 262 between Bellview Lane and Henschen Road and is expected to be complete in mid-July, weather permitting. Temporary traffic signals will be used and an 11-foot width limit will be in effect while work is in progress.
