The Indiana Department of Transportation announces State Road 47 will close on or after Monday, May 8 for culvert work near Thorntown. The road will be closed between County Road 650 N. and Co. Rd. 1000 W. It’s expected to reopen at the beginning of June, weather permitting.

The official detour follows S.R. 75 to S.R. 32 and back.
