Bid letting for the Nine-Span Bridge project in Hammond has been pushed back a month, officials say, but IN-DOT says that should not impact the project schedule. The historic bridge along Indianapolis Boulevard is being replaced, and plans have been discussed to save part of it, possibly incorporating it into a trail bridge. Another big October bid opening is still scheduled for next month, and that's a repaving project along US 30 in the Hobart/Merrillville area, between State Roads 51 and 55.
