The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) has reported that the US 35 bridge over the Yellow River on the north side of Knox is now about 49% completed, with the lane on the east side of the road about done. The road will switch to that new side sometime within the next 10 days, so travel will continue to be limited to one side and controlled by a traffic signal at each end.
