Highways to close

Sections of two state highways will close in Jay County.

A stretch of Indiana 67 will open in an adjacent county.

Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) announced plans to close Indiana 67 east of Bryant and Indiana 1 near Balbec for infrastructure replacements.

Indiana 67 will be closed between U.S. 27 and county road 450 East beginning on or after Monday. Crews will be replacing a “small structure,” with work expected to be complete by the end of October.

The official detour for the closure utilizes U.S. 27, Indiana 218 and Ohio 49.

Indiana 1 is scheduled to be closed as early as Friday between Indiana 18 and county road 650 North. Workers will be replacing a pipe. 

The project is expected to be complete by mid-October.

The official detour during the closure will use Indiana 18, U.S. 27, Indiana 67 and Indiana 26.

INDOT also announced that Indiana 67 between Black Mills Road and the Indiana 28/Indiana 67 split, near Delaware County road 425 East, will open with the completion of a bridge replacement project. (The site is just southwest of Muncie Dragway.) 

As a result, temporary stop signs will be removed at the intersection of Indiana 28 and Old Granville Road in Albany. Traditional traffic patterns will resume.
