Public hearing for S.R. 75 bridge over Middle Fork Wildcat Creek

CARROLL COUNTY, Ind. – The Indiana Department of Transportation will host a hearing to offer the public an opportunity to review and comment on preliminary design plans to rehabilitate the Historic Bridge on State Road 75 over Middle Fork Wildcat Creek south of Cutler.

As proposed, the project involves rehabilitation of the existing structure for continued vehicular use. The project will remove and replace the existing asphalt roadway and arch fill down to the existing unreinforced concrete arch. Patching and waterproofing the arch, spandrel walls, and wing walls will be included and will preserve all architectural details of the bridge.

Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. for an open house to give the public time to view displays and talk to project representatives.
