State To Accelerate Cline Bridge Work

THE NWI TIMES - Dan Carden
INDIANAPOLIS -- Gov. Mitch Daniels said Monday the state will take an existing replacement plan for the closed Cline Avenue bridge and "pull it forward." In an interview with The Times, the Republican governor said he's already asked the Indiana Department of Transportation to look into accelerating the project. INDOT closed a 4-mile stretch of Ind. 912, known locally as Cline Avenue, on Nov. 13 after inspectors found significant corrosion where the 70-foot-tall concrete and steel piers meet the bridge deck over the Indiana Harbor and Ship Canal in East Chicago.
