Sorry a bit blurry -- this is a DashboardCam shot. Notice the stoplights and how traffic is now shunted down the center.

Simple mistake my friend... just happy to be of assistance.
Sorry Tony, but who would have thought they had two bridges signaled for one lane. I didn't remember seeing this bridge but took photos of the White River Bridge. I moved them to the correct bridge.
Pics #2 and 3 appear to be of the White River 4-span bridge and not the overflow spans.
With a little web-fu, I turned up this article:

It says that this bridge, and its neighbor, are slated for replacement in 2013, barring intervention from historic preservationists and environmentalists (because of the presence of the brown bat here). The lane restrictions will remain until then.
That's just what I was thinking. I wonder how we can find out what brought this change about. I wish I had connections at INDOT!
Not a good sign to see this state highway span converted to a one lane bridge........
I drove this bridge today. It's been converted to one-lane traffic. There are stoplights on the bridge at either end controlling traffic.
Gone, just like the mothership Newberry bridge. Big, ugly hole now. What a shame! Now nobody will see it in because everyone will be traveling I69. I'm guessing that since it was just an overflow and road goes beside it's open grave, there will be no replacement. Anyone? Bah! Humbug!
