Remember, Main Street in Brookville, U.S. 52, will be closed Wednesday, November 4, between Fourth and Fifth streets for the removal of the belfry off the courthouse.
At this time, the closure is just for Wednesday, but it may have to be longer if Lykins Contracting of Sunman runs into any trouble.
There will be three large cranes on site, with at least one being parked on Main Street.
The historic belfry is leaning at what is apparently an increasing angle. The old belfry will be taken down, the rubber roof repaired and a new metal belfry will be put in its place.
It is thought the new belfry will be put in place during the spring of 2021.
