Officials in Shelby County said Thursday, a bridge located in the southern half of the 700 block of Woodland Road is closed for an indefinite period of time following an inspection. The bridge, over an unnamed tributary of Indian Creek, is between Jackson Township, sections 35 and 36. The structure was determined to be unsafe and closed immediately. For emergency crews information: the residence at 719 Woodland Road will only be accessible from the north.

Earlier in the day, Thursday, the Audubon County Emergency Management Agency said the Audubon County Engineer’s office was forced to immediately close a bridge in the 1900 block of 220th Street, following an inspection that determined the bridge was unsafe. The bridge is located just east of Highway 71 on 220th Street (just east of Agriland FS), in Audubon County. The closure will be in effect until plans can be made to make repairs.
