The road across the main dam at Lake Shelbyville will be closed periodically the week of December 18th – 22nd and again the first 3 weeks of January. Closures will only occur Monday through Friday starting at 7:00 AM and reopen at 4:00 PM the same day. These times are approximate and may fluctuate a few minutes. The closures apply to both vehicle and pedestrian traffic; however, access to the Dam West Overlook area will continue to be open during this time.

These closures are necessary to provide safety for workers and members of the general public while work is being conducted. The closures are necessary for workers to safely install new electrical components on the main dam.

The Corps of Engineers recognizes the impact of road closures on the general public and apologizes for any inconveniences it may cause.  For additional information, contact the Lake Shelbyville Project Office at (217) 774-3951.
