It appears, according to INDot, that this bridge will be relocated to Blue River Park near Shelbyville, on a pedestrian pathway. https://www.in.gov/activecalendar_dnr/displaymedia.aspx?what...

If it is to reopen to traffic, Item #1 to fix would be the structure-mounted guardrails, which put the truss at risk for damage by collision.
This span was to be closed to traffic today after it failed an engineering inspection. It will likely remain closed until the county decides how they want to proceed.
Being that it is a "Select" listed bridge in the state it will either be rehabbed in place, or relocated to another location. The locals that I have talked with want it left in place, but having it closed might change their opinions. I am almost always in favor of leaving a historic span in it's original location, but this site has a growing traffic count and the rate of speed is of concern. If it is found that moving it is the best way to preserve it...than I am good with that.
Here is a link to the local news article about the closing:
