Daviess County Engineer Jason Heile says the Odon-Cannelburg Road will be closed between CR 800 N and CR 1000 N for construction after May 16 or when conditions permit.  He made that report to the Daviess County Commissioners at their regular meeting on Tuesday.  Heile also says two bridge projects are moving ahead.  Final plans for the 15th Street Bridge project have been submitted to CSX for final approval, and work on the river bridge on Old Vincennes Road will be completed as soon as the painters can finish their work.

In other matters regarding county roads, County Highway Superintendent Phil Cornelius was granted permission to conduct a traffic study at the intersection of CR 550 N and CR 1100 E before making a 4-way stop permanent.   The 4-way stop was initially put in place due to safety concerns for students at an Amish school near the intersection.

Other action at the meeting included the approval of  permit for Frontier Communications to lay cable along the right of way along County Road 350 N from the Martin County Line to County Road 1200 E was approved.

  A resolution adding the Probation Department to the County’s credit card usage list was also approved.
