The road across the main dam at Lake Shelbyville will be closed to all vehicle and pedestrian traffic from 8:00 a.m. on October 29 until 5:00 p.m. on October 30. The closure is necessary to allow workers to safely clean drains below the dam.

While the dam road will be inaccessible, the Dam West Overlook area will remain open to the public during the maintenance period.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, responsible for the project, acknowledges the inconvenience to the public and appreciates their understanding as they conduct the essential work to ensure safety.
