I was driving from Terre Haute to Bloomington and INDOT was beginning to install temorary trafic signals at all the bridges between Vandalia and Specer. They redid the brige at Fish Creek (creek goes into Owen Put. SF) a few years ago when it got slightly washed out. However they are redoing it again. None of the other bridges seem like they need redone either, especially the one at Rattlesnake Creek; but maybe they do. I think INDOT probably just has money to blow.

It could be inspection turned up hidden flaws which could lead to catastrophic failure of the bridge. How does one 'slightly wash out' a bridge without damaging it? You could email Indot and ask, if you think they have 'money to blow'.

Trust me those bridges don't REALLY need to be redone. I've driven that way many times. They definitely don't need to be redone because of flooding because Indiana had a drought last year.

Please, use proper English.
