The Indiana Department of Transportation is advising motorists that a weight limit of 38-tons has been placed on the U.S. 421 Bridge over Kilmore Creek, which is located north of Frankfort and just south of State Road 38.
Based upon a structural analysis review of the bridge, INDOT has determined that vehicles weighing over 38-tons are not allowed to travel on this bridge. Signs displaying “Weight Limit 38 Tons” are posted on both sides of the bridge.
INDOT will be activating a traffic signal to allow for motorists to travel in one direction at a time across the bridge. The traffic signal will be turned on during the early morning hours of Thursday, July 26.
INDOT has a project to repair the bridge scheduled to open for bids in January of next year.
