S.R. 446 Closes Next Week At Leatherwood Creek For Bridge Work

0
The Indiana Department of Transportation plans to close the State Road 46 bridge that spans Leatherwood Creek near Heltonville next Thursday (JULY 23) for up to one week.  This will allow INDOT’s contractor to make repairs and apply a thin bridge deck overlay on the 3-span structure. 
 
Motorists are advised to detour around the closure—which is just south of S.R. 58—via U.S. Highway 50 and S.R. 37.

RAM Construction is the state’s specialty contractor for applying a three-eighths-inch “polycarb” overlay atop this 153-foot-long steel beam structure which measures 44 feet side-to-side.  The polymeric epoxy will be placed in two lifts.  It will seal the deck and extend the service life of the driving surface.  Flint chips are to be mixed with the epoxy to elevate the coefficient of friction for improved safety. 
 
S.R. 446’s traffic count at Leatherwood Creek is 1,180 vehicles per day.
 
RAM’s $136,263 rehabilitation contract also calls for placing a thin polymer overlay on the S.R. 446 bridge at Little Salt Creek, north of the Leatherwood Creek site.  That work is tentatively scheduled to begin July 30.  It will require a week-long closure.

Voting for the Wuerffel Trophy is performed by a National Selection Committee that includes college football television and print media, industry notables, former head coaches and prior Wuerffel Trophy recipients.

Sudfeld, a player speaker at the 2015 Big Ten Kickoff Luncheon, went on a week-long service trip to Uganda during 2015 spring break.

Houchin Pondering Bid For US House Position

0

Ninth District Congressman Todd Young‘s announcement he‘ll run for the Senate creates a second open U-S House race in Indiana next year.

Salem State Senator Erin Houchin says she‘s considering a bid for Young‘s seat. She was U-S Senator Dan Coats‘ regional director before running for office herself last year, and was Ninth District Republican Party chair when Young wrested the seat away from Democrat Baron Hill.

2015%20HouchinHIRES

Houchin says she doesn‘t have a timeline in mind for a decision, but says constituents have been encouraging her to make the race.

She says there‘s a need for someone in Washington to “fight back against the liberal agenda.”

Attorney General Greg Zoeller is a New Albany native, and has said in the past he‘d consider a run if Young gave up the seat. He‘s up for reelection next year. Houchin‘s Senate seat isn‘t on the ballot again until 2018.

Coats‘ decision to retire from the Senate next year has opened up two House seats. Like Young, Third District Congressman Marlin Stutzman is passing on reelection to run for Coats‘ seat

Young To Announce US Senate Run Saturday

0

His official announcement isn‘t scheduled until next Saturday, but Congressman Todd Young has already said he will run for the U.S. Senate.

Young‘s campaign released a YouTube video announcing his entry into the race for Dan Coats‘s Senate seat, making him the third Republican to seek the nomination.

 

B9318055092Z_1_20150712133257_000_GMTBASMLJ_1-0

Young, 42, has represented the 9th Congressional District that runs from south of Indy to the Kentucky state line since 2010. “Everything in my life, I owe to God, my family, the Naval Academy and the Marine Corps. And the best way I can think of to give back is to ensure that every Hoosier family enjoys a better future,” Young said at the end of the video filled with endorsements from his wife, parents and others.

The video was released just days after Young‘s campaign teased “a very special campaign announcement” to take place July 18.

Coats is retiring at the end of his term, and many Republicans – notably two former chairmen of the State Republican Party – were holding off on announcing support for a particular GOP candidate until Young made a decision on getting into the race.

Young‘s campaign had just announced he had raised $1 million over the previous quarter, and he is the only one of the three current candidates to release campaign finance reports that are due by Wednesday.

Young is running against Eric Holcomb, the former state Republican Party chairman who had been chief of staff of Coats‘s Indiana office, and fellow Congressman Marlin Stutzman, who is expected to garner support from the tea party wing of the party.

The only Democrat in the Senate race is Baron Hill, whom Young defeated for his Congressional seat almost five years ago.
