Yes, many roads in Indiana have been out due to high water. The road you mention is in the middle of an area hit hard with flooding. You may want to add in extra time just in case you have a detour.
The Indiana Department of Transportation and Indiana State Police sites didn't seem to have much, if any, information about which roads were affected and if they are open or not.
One of the sites did say to check with television and radio.
Here are a couple of television channel websites here in central Indiana who has road news on it. http://www.wishtv.com/ and http://www.wthr.com/ and talk radio station with local and state news at 93.1 FM WIBC http://www.wibc.com/. Hopefully these will be faster loading on your computer than they are on mine. I don't know if Mapquest or another route mapping site would have current information, might be worth a check .

Have a safe journey.
This is why I love this forum! Thanks, Corgihauler!!
We made it to the Gulf without a problem. The trip through Indiana became real interesting in the Columbus area. Those poor people. We usually stop at MM 68 but that area, including many establishments are under three feet or more of water. Further south about ten miles, two rivers within a mile of each other made for some impressive currents. I heard a dam broke loose.
I'm so happy that you made it safely to your destination. Thanks for telling about the conditions you saw. I agree, those poor people . It rained the other day and you could almost hear the state groan. Nice and dry now, hope it stays that way for a while.
